The Only Way

About This Movie

So, 'The Only Way' is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that really leans into the absurdity of life. It’s inspired by some heavyweights—Perec and Melville—so you get this existential vibe, right? Adam, the main guy, is a real recluse, stuck in his apartment after his mother passes. The pacing is kind of languid, but it fits the theme of stagnation and the surreal nature of his existence. The performances feel genuine, capturing that awkwardness of someone who's out of touch with the world. What stands out? It’s that dark humor mixed with these moments of introspection that really hit you. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well—definitely adds to the offbeat charm.

Unique blend of existential themes and humor. · Features a reclusive protagonist with a compelling arc. · Mundane settings amplify the absurdity of the narrative.
