This film is very slow, but the pace is not detracting. The pacing is the film. It is relaxing and entrancing and gives us the chance to really take a good hard look of the lives of the characters in this story.
Some may argue that there really is no plot here, no story to follow. But whoever thinks that just isn't looking hard enough. They're likely after some quick, cheap thrill, but you won't find that here. Withdrawn instead offers something far greater: an entertaining yet meaningful glimpse into the existence and routines, as well as the internal struggles and motivations, of a young man and his acquaintances, separate from any big convoluted plot.
It feels real and it feels fresh. It's all in the subtext. And best of all, it's easily available right now at the click of a button, streaming on Netflix. So what are you waiting for? Go watch it!
