Setup

About This Movie

Setup is a bit of an understated gem, really. The film dives deep into the psyche of David, a character who's navigating the treacherous waters of love and ambition. The pacing is measured, allowing the tension to build organically as David musters the courage to approach a woman who's emotionally closed off. It captures that mix of longing and desperation beautifully. The performances, while not flashy, feel genuine and heartfelt, adding to the overall tone. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, enhancing the emotional weight rather than distracting. It's definitely a film that resonates with anyone who’s ever been afraid to chase their dreams, making it distinctive in a genre often filled with clichés.
