Film Review - Catching Dust
August 21, 2024
“Catching Dust” is a British production about pain and isolation in the middle of Texas. Writer/director Stuart Gatt makes his feature-length debut with the effort, which is a chamber piece tracking the slow but steady rise of tensions between two couples living in a remote commune space. These are toxic partnerships, leaving the writing to explore communication issues and power plays, with the screenplay only exiting the setting for a one brief moment. The rest of “Catching Dust” is left to the actors, who do a commendable job navigating the material’s somewhat strange take on commitment, providing some feel for rising tensions as details of these lives start to become clear as the picture unfolds. It’s a slower paced endeavor with a less than satisfying conclusion, but Gatt hits on a few interesting points of loyalty, and he works well with the atmospheric location.
