The Inability of Being Alone

About This Movie

The Inability of Being Alone dives into the isolated life of Alice, a 20-year-old with a rare immunodeficiency. It’s a heavy watch, really, capturing the weight of confinement and the longing for connection. The atmosphere is almost claustrophobic, with the cinematography often mirroring Alice's internal struggle—there’s a lot of tight framing. The pacing is slow at times, which fits the emotional weight but might not be for everyone. The performances, particularly from Alice, feel genuine and raw, pulling you into her world. It raises poignant questions about loneliness and the nature of relationships, especially through her bond with Fred. It's a unique take on a life lived in seclusion, making it stand out in the drama genre.
