'Vesper,' which opens in theaters tomorrow, takes well-worn dystopian young-adult tropes and makes them new again, and offers strong performances. Read on for our review, and to see the trailer.
VESPER Directed by Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper Out September 30 Vesper takes well-worn dystopian young-adult tropes and makes them new again—or at least more compelling than they seem on paper—through its sheer plausibility, an immersive atmosphere, and strong performances.
Vesper is a 13-year-old girl scrounging to survive in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The most pressing enemy is food insecurity, brought on by earlier events but maintained by men like Vesper’s neighbor Jonas , who relishes the power he has over other, less-fortunate folks. Her bedridden father communicates through a homemade drone, which serves as her companion through the weird wasteland.
ADVERTISEMENT Vesper is a singular experience, blurring the lines between sci-fi and horror. The filmmakers trust the audience to work out the finer details of this seemingly timeless dystopia themselves, which is especially refreshing in today’s exposition-heavy blockbuster landscape. At times, the film feels like an extended prologue to a larger tale, if only because it introduces viewers to a world demanding further exploration. This review originally appeared in BUST's Fall 2022 issue.
