Approach VIII - Becoming Halfling (2022)
‘Approach‘ is a monolithic silhouette, a great shape at the edge of sight, broiling with the same kind of intensity and the same blanched tones as other great works written as if in memoriam — The Caretaker’s works, for one example. Emma Northey renders this, and much else, into her arresting video for ‘Approach VIII: Becoming Halfling‘, a visual accoutrement that makes it hard to determine which came first: is it the shapes and landscape-like forms swirling in the darkness making the noise, or are the sounds, reflecting on a surface and rendering themselves into form? Or perhaps neither, both just glimpses of one sinuous, near-living being.

Simply A Masterpiece
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
