Trigger Points (2020)
An original and possibly misunderstood gem.
I wasn't surprised to see in the trivia that this film took a long time to make. There has clearly been a lot of care and attention that has been taken to make a film of this standard for such a small budget.
Yes it's a micro budget film but don't let that put you off. Some of the best films of last few decades particularly the 70s were full of low budget films which we now look back on fondly. I absolutely loved it's slow pace and philosophical underpinning. It's like watching a dream or a fable. This isn't a 'standard' film and it clearly isn't meant to be.
If you are looking for a 'standard' independent film or something straight forward then you will be disappointed. This film demands more from its audience. Watching it is like deciphering a coded message. As soon as it ended I wish I hadn't watched it on my own as I wanted to talk about it and discuss the messages within it.
I am frankly amazed that the film came out this year with it's virus theme.
Do not be put off by any negative reviews. A film like this doesn't just come out every year.
