Count Me In: A quiet, weird little game

Is it worth your time?

Honestly, it depends on if you like watching people just exist in a room for a while. If you need a big, loud plot or some kind of grand message, you are going to hate this. It’s not for you. But if you dig movies that feel like a tiny, frozen moment in time, you might find it weirdly hypnotic. 🎲

The whole thing is basically just a game of strip dice between two women. That’s it. There isn't some secret spy mission going on in the background or a tragic backstory revealed in the third act. It’s just them, the dice, and the clothes.

There’s this one shot where one of them rolls the dice, and the camera stays on her face for way too long. Like, uncomfortably long. You can see her brain working, trying to figure out if she should bluff or just give up. It’s not acting—it feels like she’s actually bored, or maybe she’s tired of the game.

It reminded me a bit of the pacing in Mannequins, where things just sort of hang in the air without being explained. No music swells to tell you how to feel. No dramatic lighting shifts. Just the sound of plastic dice hitting a table over and over.

I found myself staring at the background furniture more than the actual game. The way the shadows fall on the wall is kind of distracting. It’s almost like the room itself is a third character, just kind of sitting there, waiting for the dice to stop rolling.

The vibe

• Zero fluff.
• The dice rolling sound is oddly loud.
• It feels like it was filmed in an afternoon.
• The silence is the real star here.

It’s not a masterpiece. It’s not going to change your life. But it’s definitely not like the usual stuff you see. It’s a weird, small, imperfect slice of nothing, and sometimes that’s fine. It feels less like a movie and more like watching something you weren't supposed to see. 🤷‍♂️
