Top of The City

About This Movie

So, 'Top of The City' is an interesting piece from 2021. It's got this raw, gritty vibe that really captures the struggles of urban life. The pacing is a bit slow, but it kind of works for the story they’re telling, letting moments breathe and hit harder. The performances? Well, they feel real, almost like they’re pulling from personal experiences rather than just acting. There’s a noticeable lack of big-name stars, which I think adds to its charm. Practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the film in a way that’s refreshing. Overall, it’s one of those films that lingers after viewing, even if it doesn’t have a grand narrative arc. Very much a slice-of-life kind of deal with a heavy atmosphere.
