Test Pattern

...a moving slow-burning drama filled with unspoken—but not unseen—hurt.

The film strikingly punctuates the detachment of realist drama with the expressionism of psychological horror.

Ford’s commitment to implying trauma instead of visualizing it is more than just an impressive formal constraint.

...captures the “how,” immerses us in the “now” and shows us the lives brought to a standstill by the experience and the soul-crushing systemic failures of the aftermath.

With beautiful acting, scenes filled with silent tension, and then slowly escalating depression and hopelessness, Test Pattern shows how much America's infrastructure must change to put victims first -- and perpetrators on notice.
