Telescope

About This Movie

Telescope is a gritty exploration of addiction and despair. Sohrab, the protagonist, embodies the struggles of a man lost to his vices, with a narrative that unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing the weight of his choices to sink in. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really draws you into his world. The performances, while understated, have a rawness that feels authentic—especially in the moments when Sohrab confronts his losses. The film's practical effects, while limited, serve to enhance the realism rather than distract from the emotional core. There's something distinctive about how it portrays the grief of abandonment and the cycle of addiction; it’s not flashy, but it lingers long after the credits roll.
