Toys on Fire

About This Movie

Toys on Fire really dives into the gritty underbelly of Le Havre, blending a tense drama with a surreal edge. The relationship between Pablo and his sister Appoline anchors the story, and their bond feels both tender and vulnerable, especially when he gets tangled up in his feelings for Nuit. The pacing is interesting – it ebbs and flows with the rhythm of their shared gaming experience in 'Darknoon', which adds an unexpected layer to the narrative. The performances bring a raw authenticity that pulls you in. There's a haunting atmosphere throughout, really capturing that sense of isolation and desperation. And the practical effects, though not overdone, enhance the overall vibe without overshadowing the emotional core. An intriguing exploration of loyalty and ambition.
