The Games of Night is a haunting exploration of childhood innocence shattered by the harsh realities of a dysfunctional family. The pacing is deliberately slow, mimicking the boy's long, sleepless nights filled with hope and dread. The film’s tone oscillates between a dreamlike escapism and a stark portrayal of domestic strife. There are no flashy effects here, just raw performances that ground the narrative. The boy's imagination as he envisions saving his father is poignant, contrasting sharply with the grim truth when the father returns. It’s this blend of atmosphere and emotional depth that sets it apart, making it a uniquely unsettling watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
