Tryst

About This Movie

Tryst is one of those films that hovers in the shadows, blending romance with a creeping sense of dread. The young man's visit to his mother's workplace in the opulent Santa Barbara estate sets a deceptively tranquil stage, but it quickly spirals into a web of deceit and danger. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, which only heightens the tension. You can really feel the atmosphere of the estate itself—it's both alluring and oppressive. The performances carry a certain rawness, making the characters' entanglements feel immediate and real. What stands out is how it exposes the darker undercurrents of wealth and familial loyalty, leading to some genuinely unexpected twists. Definitely a film that leaves an impression, not just because of its plot but its mood.
