★ 10/10 Aug 4, 2025

An audio-visual treat but beneath the beautiful facade, there's a lingering sense of dread and paranoia. 2 hours of deceit and doubts culminating in a climax that nobody can ever predict.

★ 9/10 Jan 1, 2026

Confessions explores the moral void left by a legal system that fails to punish juvenile crime, unfolding a chilling revenge through quiet monologues and shifting perspectives. As each character’s inner justification is exposed, the film reveals how guilt, bullying, and false righteousness mutate into collective cruelty. Cold, controlled, and devastating, it portrays revenge not as rage—but as a meticulously planned shadow that never truly leaves.
