Suburbia

About This Movie

Suburbia (2019) dives into this unique blend of drama and science fiction, exploring themes of love and fate through a lens that's both intimate and a bit gritty. The film portrays the awkwardness of teenage emotions, where Jon, a nerdy high schooler, discovers his so-called soulmate but finds himself drawn to Vio, his friend who defies the norms. It's interesting how the pacing feels almost like a slow burn, reflecting the characters' internal struggles. The performances carry a raw authenticity, particularly in their portrayal of a clandestine relationship that challenges societal expectations. The practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative rather than distract. It’s a curious examination of what it means to connect and rebel against destiny.
