A haunting exploration of mental illness that grips with chilling realism.
4/5

Review

‘Who?’, written and directed by Teja Geenugunta, is a gripping journey into the tumultuous psyche of Sierra, portrayed with raw intensity by Jessica Konkle. As Sierra teeters on the brink of a mental breakdown, her fear of the outside world, loneliness, and isolation intensify, plunging viewers into the depths of her struggles. Michael Lake delivers a stellar performance as her empathetic doctor, attempting to navigate the complexities of her condition.

The narrative takes a chilling turn, delving into the shadows of schizophrenia, as Sierra grapples with haunting hallucinations and unsettling realities. Through commendable performances by Konkle and Lake, the film delves into the harrowing experience of living with severe mental illness, offering a poignant and unsettling character study.

Saurav Pasrija’s cinematography captivates with its cinematic production quality, bringing audiences into the eerie atmosphere. Geenugunta’s direction is praiseworthy, delicately handling the sensitive subject matter with empathy and authenticity, without veering into exploitation.

‘Who?’ serves not only as an awareness film but also as a profound exploration of the darker side of the human mind, shedding light on the often overlooked struggles of those battling mental illness.

Brief Synopsis

Sierra is a fit young woman who never skips her routine. She runs everyday, works hard, and takes the best care of herself. But everything changes when, one grim winter morning, something deeply unwelcome arrives at her door.
