Peter's Room

About This Movie

So, 'Peter's Room' is this quietly intense drama from 2010 that revolves around a young boy, Peter, who pulls off this little act of defiance by feigning sleep. It’s not just a kid's rebellion but a deeper commentary on the comfort of home and the pressures of growing up. The atmosphere feels almost claustrophobic at times, capturing that sense of a child's world closing in. The pacing is slow, but it works here, allowing you to really sit with Peter's emotions. The performances, especially from the young lead, are raw and heartfelt. There's something quite distinctive about the practical effects too, like how they create an almost dreamlike quality to his room. It’s a film that lingers in the mind after watching.
