About This Movie

Steps is an intriguing exploration of memory and longing, wrapped in a very relatable family drama. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, where the mundane suddenly collides with the haunting past. The central character, played with quiet intensity, experiences an unsettling emotional journey triggered by that mannequin that looks just like his lost love. It's a unique choice to use practical effects here, as the mannequin becomes a tangible specter of his memories, adding to the film's eerie atmosphere. The performances feel genuine, and the way it captures the fragility of everyday life is striking. It’s not flashy but instead lingers in the mind, kind of like how memories do. Worth a watch for those who appreciate character-driven narratives.

Thought-provoking narrative on memory and loss. · Engaging atmosphere with a mix of realism and surrealism. · Notable practical effects enhancing emotional depth.
