Acid
Directed by Aleksandr Gorchilin1h 38m2018
They have been abandoned in a world adorned with concepts such as family, friendship, love, and opportunities. In search of answers to their questions, they devour themselves like a chemical substance that corrodes the world around, in order to eventually learn not to listen but to hear, not to look but to see. And to find their way.
Our read: Acid (2018) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, steady, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
