Seeing in the Dark

About This Movie

Seeing in the Dark really captures that raw, gritty feel of someone's first day back in the real world, like a fresh wound. Clayton Sykora's struggle to fit in is palpable, and the pacing feels almost like a heartbeat—slow and tense at times, quickening with every moment of social discomfort. The atmosphere is thick with longing and uncertainty, and you can't help but feel for him as he navigates the stark reality of his situation. The performances are pretty solid, especially considering the unknown director, bringing a kind of authenticity that feels lived-in. What stands out is the way it tackles themes of belonging and alienation without heavy-handedness. It just feels real, you know?
