Side by Side

About This Movie

Side by Side (2024) captures an intimate exploration of connection through a metaphorical door. Set in a minimalistic space, the film’s pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as two girls gradually peel back layers of their emotions. The performances have this raw quality that keeps you engaged; it’s like watching a slow dance of vulnerability. The dialogue is simple yet profound, allowing the audience to feel the weight of each confession. There’s a certain atmosphere that hangs in the air, blending tension and tenderness beautifully. What stands out is how the film uses practical effects to create a sense of space—shadows and light play a key role, making the door not just a barrier but a bridge between their worlds.
