This world can be such a fickle and feeble place. We’re thrust upon it by no other choice than pure luck and coincidence, there’s no set rules, no guides: just educated guesses, inference and common sense.
Adam found a way to navigate the world for himself. By doing his own thing, knowing his own boundaries, being kind to himself when he needs to be, pushing and challenging himself when he needs to. This is thrust into the air after the death of his father and what we get a really, slow, methodical case study on self, identity, relationships with other people, grief, important questions we don’t want to think about - like our parental relationships.
All of those things what make the basic fabric of who we are can be so overwhelming, so brutish and blundering and so so confusing. But Sky Peals, whilst it might not answer your questions, creates that environment to have a space to ask them, to explore them and ruminate in them. It’s pretty beautiful.
Very similar vibes to I Saw The TV Glow for me, but there was something just a little lacking. I feel like it could’ve leant in to the supernatural elements that little bit further. Gimme a bit more weird with the philosophical.
