The Uncle

About This Movie

The Uncle is a haunting exploration of isolation and psychological trauma. It follows Ipse, a 19-year-old girl trapped in her own bed, reflecting a stillness that permeates the film. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing unhurried, which allows the viewer to really sit with her despair. The performances are raw; you can feel her pain as she navigates a life devoid of family yet heavily reliant on her neighbors, who only amplify her sense of entrapment. The mystery around her family's past adds layers to the narrative, making it compelling. The practical effects, or lack thereof, emphasize her mental state—her world is bleak, and every little interaction feels weighty. Definitely an interesting watch for those who appreciate character-driven stories.
