Sloth

About This Movie

Sloth (2000) dives into the turbulent psyche of a teenage boy grappling with faith. Ole Petter is a character you can't help but feel for. The film's somber tone matches its contemplative pace, drawing you into his struggles with belief and doubt. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, as it explores deeply personal themes of existential crisis and the search for meaning. There's a rawness to the performances, especially from the lead, that makes his doubts feel palpable. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, keeping the focus on character rather than flashy visuals. It's an introspective piece, not your typical coming-of-age story, which makes it stand out in a sea of more conventional narratives.
