The Adolescent

About This Movie

So, The Adolescent is this interesting adaptation of Dostoevsky, right? It really captures that tension of a young guy trying to find his place while dealing with family complexities. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into the character's inner turmoil. There's a distinct atmosphere throughout—kind of somber but thought-provoking. The performances are solid, particularly the lead; you can almost feel his struggle to reconnect. It's not flashy or over-the-top, but that understated approach works well here. Plus, the practical effects and setting really ground the story. It gives you a sense of authenticity that’s hard to come by in some modern flicks.
