Sugarplum

About This Movie

So, 'Sugarplum' is a curious little gem from 2019. It really leans into that eerie, dreamlike vibe, almost like you’re stuck in a waking nightmare. The pacing is kind of slow, which might throw some people off, but it builds an unsettling atmosphere that really sticks with you. There’s a distinct use of practical effects that gives it a rawness, which is refreshing in a genre that often relies on CGI. The performances are more understated, yet they carry an emotional weight that feels genuine. Themes around dreams and reality intertwine in a way that gets under your skin. It’s definitely one of those films that lingers in your thoughts long after the credits roll.
