About This Movie

These Are the Rules is an intriguing drama that digs deep into the fragile fabric of suburban life.

Pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to really sit with the parents' fears and uncertainties. You might find the performances authentic, raw, almost unsettling in their honesty. The film doesn’t rely on flashy effects; instead, it’s more about the weight of the situations and the palpable tension that simmers beneath the surface. Really makes you think about the constructs of safety and the world we create for ourselves. Quite a distinctive piece, for sure.
