South Of Pico

About This Movie

So, 'South of Pico' is one of those films that really digs into the human experience, you know? It’s centered around four characters in L.A. – a chauffeur, a waitress, a doctor, and a young boy – who are all kind of grappling with their own lives when this tragedy unfolds. The pacing is methodical, almost meditative at times, allowing the weight of their emotions to settle in. There's this palpable sense of Los Angeles as a backdrop, which adds to the atmosphere, like a character in itself. The performances are raw and grounded, not overdone, which really elevates the storytelling. It’s not flashy or reliant on effects, but rather it’s those quiet moments that stick with you, reflecting on connection and loss in a big city.
