Obsession

About This Movie

Obsession is a haunting exploration of familial decay and emotional turmoil. The film's tone is heavy, almost oppressive, with a slow build that mirrors the protagonist's descent into despair. Raymond Amsalem's portrayal is striking; she captures that delicate balance of fragility and quiet strength, making her character's suffering palpable. The atmosphere is thick, punctuated by moments of tension that feel both intimate and suffocating. It dives into themes of betrayal, loneliness, and the struggle for agency in a crumbling domestic life. Pacing meanders, but it resonates with the creeping sense of inevitability. It’s an unusual blend of drama and thriller elements, with a keen eye for realism that makes the scenes feel raw and genuine—something that definitely stands apart in contemporary cinema.
