Trouble in Mind

About This Movie

Trouble in Mind is a real gem from '85, blending comedy, crime, and drama in a way that feels both quirky and grounded. The film dives into the lives of its characters against the backdrop of Rain City, which is almost a character in itself—dark, moody, yet somehow inviting. The pacing gives you room to breathe, letting you absorb the atmosphere and the oddball interactions between the ex-con, the coffee-shop owner, and the ambitious young couple. It’s not flashy, but the performances convey a raw authenticity that pulls you in. Plus, there's a certain charm in its practical effects. It’s one of those films that sticks with you because of its unique vibe and the way it captures the essence of its time.

Strong character-driven narrative · Distinctive setting that enhances the story · Impressive practical effects for its time
