About This Movie

Sobaka is this gritty, atmospheric film that dives into the darker side of the immigrant experience in LA. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, drawing you deeper into the protagonist's unraveling world. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, whose struggle to care for his sister while navigating a dangerous underworld is palpable. There's a distinct tone, blending crime and thriller elements, and it feels very much rooted in the harsh realities of life. Practical effects add a layer of authenticity, making the tension feel real and immediate. It’s sort of haunting, really—a reflection of desperation and the lengths one might go for family, even if it leads down a perilous road. Definitely a standout for its bleak but gripping storytelling.
