Trigger

About This Movie

Trigger (2023) dives deep into the psyche of Artyom Streletski, a therapist grappling with his own demons while trying to help others. The film has this haunting atmosphere, really captures the essence of solitude and despair. Pacing feels contemplative, which can be a bit slow for some, but it serves the story well. Practical effects are subtle, enhancing the emotional weight rather than overshadowing it. Performances are raw and honest, the lead really embodies the struggles of trust and loss. It’s distinct in how it navigates the complexities of human relationships, straying away from the typical tropes of therapeutic narratives. There’s a certain grit to it, a reflection on what happens when the healer needs healing.
