The Trap

About This Movie

So, 'The Trap' (2023) takes you into this quiet, almost suffocating world where a woman’s isolation is palpable. The atmosphere is heavy but also tender, as we see her slowly reconnecting through this friendship with a troubled young man. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with their struggles and moments of connection. It’s interesting how the film adapts its short film roots, expanding on themes of healing and resilience, while keeping things intimate. The performances are raw and genuine; both actors really bring the characters to life in a way that feels very personal. There's a certain understated beauty in the practical effects and minimalistic approach, which makes it distinct from more flashy dramas.
