Warfare

2025

★★ 1

Sensory details in Warfare are undeniably impressive, ratcheting up unbearable anxiety. You’re compelled to notice the beads of sweat threading the sniper’s neck as he’s locked in the same position for hours, atop a mattress, minutely scanning suspicious movements. “Peeking with serious intent to probe” —that’s the gist for aiming the weapon.

Working with Tajdar Junaid’s gently melancholic score, mostly guitar riffs and piano, Mishra explores in very delicately judged, featherlight beats the proverbial tale of dreams versus the more sobering circumstantial constraints, elevating it with splicing in deceptively lucid evocations of pathos that firmly abstains from any self-pity and an unhurried, deftly nuanced look at what it means to retain one’s moorings in a hometown, the losses incurred in journeys and transformations.

Watched

Therapy Dogs’ scattershot approach could have worked had it been emotionally involved. Eventually, all the nights out seem to blend into a dull eye-glazing blur where nothing sticks in the viewer’s mind. It’s draining to watch similar situations play out with little emotional variation. Having no date for prom night is yet another trope in this dramatic territory which the film touches on, to vapid effect. However, the film earns some honest moments which do possess situational truth in their execution and construction.
