Pupil

About This Movie

So, 'Pupil' is an interesting little film from 2013 that dives into the psyche of an artist, really. The director is unknown, which adds a layer of mystery, I guess. It's got this raw, introspective atmosphere that draws you in. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as we watch her navigate through trauma and ultimately gain new perspectives on life. The practical effects, while subtle, enhance the dreamlike quality of her experiences. The performances are solid; you can feel the weight of her struggles. It’s not flashy but has a quiet power that resonates, making it distinctive in its approach to storytelling. Overall, it lingers with you long after it's over.
