The Soldier in the Trench is an intense film which bears heavily on the viewer from the beginning.
From its colour scheme to the gloomy conversations with a psychoanalyst, the film has
already begun to exhibit the intensity of its thematic concerns from the very first moment. <br><br>

The exchange of the two characters may strike a chord with the viewers. The fears, trials and
hopes of the human situation are the same. But few are pushed to the extreme of ending their life.
Akriti’s story is one such. <br><br>

The film relies predominantly on these conversations that unfold within a closed room. Here, the narrative doesn’t even allow them to move. While the actors try to transcend their space, and invoke ideas of happiness, pain, mental health and the general state of human existence in the process, the film could have gained from a more dynamic approach to their stationing.
