Description: A slow burn that refuses to extinguish, "Attrition" (2018) isn't a film for the impatient; it's a meditation on the corrosive nature of unspoken resentments. The narrative unfolds with a deliberate pace, allowing the tension to build organically, like a pressure cooker simmering on a low flame. What initially appears as a quiet character study transforms into a potent exploration of human fragility and the insidious ways in which we self-destruct. The film’s power lies not in grand gestures, but in the subtle nuances of performance and the weight of unspoken words. It’s a masterclass in minimalist filmmaking, leaving a lingering unease long after the credits roll. "Attrition" is a challenging, rewarding experience for those willing to embrace its deliberate rhythm and delve into its unsettling depths. Highly recommended for viewers who appreciate thoughtful, character-driven cinema.
