Oxygen

About This Movie

So, we have 'Oxygen', a 2025 drama that really digs deep into the psyche of its characters. Anat, a literature teacher and single mom, is just trying to hold it together as she waits for her son to come back from the army. The pacing feels almost claustrophobic at times, mirroring her growing anxiety. Then, bam! A soldier gets kidnapped and the chaos starts. The film doesn’t shy away from tough themes—grief, trauma, and the messiness of war. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, which I think suits the title well. And Ya'akov, her father, adds layers to the narrative with his deteriorating condition, highlighting the impact of conflict on families. The performances are raw and compelling, really drawing you into their struggles.

Intriguing exploration of trauma · Complex character dynamics · Strong atmosphere and pacing
