The Next Day

About This Movie

The Next Day is one of those films that linger in your mind. It’s a raw exploration of human connections, capturing the messy aftermath of a single night’s choices. The pacing feels almost languid at times, allowing you to sit with the tension and awkwardness that ensues between the two leads. Their performances are unvarnished, which really strips back the artifice and makes you feel the weight of their decisions. It’s interesting how the film delves into themes of regret and the unpredictability of intimacy. The understated atmosphere, combined with practical effects that ground the story, gives it a distinct, almost gritty realism. It’s not flashy, but it resonates on an emotional level that stays with you.
