Mental Health
Evie’s six-month withdrawal from everyday life represents anxious or depressive coping mechanisms, but the trailer avoids pathologising her.
Instead of displaying mental illness as dangerous or dramatic, it uses a gentle, empathetic depiction, positioning her interior world as creative.
The garage “film club” becomes a metaphor for escapism and self-protection.
Friendship & Relationships
The central relationship between Evie and Noa is framed as emotionally intimate yet ambiguous, challenging the traditional binary of “friends” vs “romantic partners.”
The introduction of Noa’s new job (and potential move away) creates tension that reflects modern anxieties about change and the way adult friendships are destabilised by life transitions.
Family Dynamics
Evie’s family — a single mother, sister, and boyfriend — are represented as ordinary, caring but imperfect, reflecting realist British drama traditions.
Their presence contrasts with the fantastical escapism of the film club, suggesting a tension between reality and imagination.
