Wakey, from 2013, is this raw drama that really captures a moment in time. Set in the mid-nineties, it’s centered on a young woman grappling with a choice that feels both personal and universal. The tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the weight of her predicament. The pacing can feel slow, allowing the audience to really sit with her internal struggle, which I appreciate. There’s a sense of realism in the performances—they're not overly dramatic but hit that sweet spot of authenticity. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as she navigates the implications of her accidental pregnancy. It’s not flashy, but that’s what makes it distinctive; it sticks with you without needing bells and whistles.
The film's exploration of personal choice is thought-provoking. · Authentic performances lend a heavy realism to the story. · The pacing allows for a deep dive into character emotions.
