Point Traverse

About This Movie

Point Traverse is a gritty exploration of youth and morality, set against a backdrop of small-town mundanity. The film dives deep into the psyche of its two main characters after they stumble upon a heinous act; it feels raw and real. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the tension to simmer as their friendship is tested. The performances are quite compelling, especially in the moments where they grapple with their identities and the weight of their choices. The atmosphere is thick with dread, almost palpable, thanks to practical effects that feel grounded rather than flashy—there's an authenticity here that resonates. It’s distinct for its character-driven narrative, avoiding the typical tropes of a crime drama, focusing instead on the emotional fallout of violence.
