I recently saw Trauma at the National Film Theatre in London and loved it, even more than I thought I would. Although there are some scary scenes it is quite far from being a horror film, I'd say it's closer to a psychological drama. The main character, Ben (Colin Firth) wakes up from a coma to find out that his wife has died in a car crash. While he is trying to grieve and get on with his life, the country is mourning the death of a famous singer, Lauren Parris. Slowly but surely Ben loses his grip on reality and doesn't know what he's imagining and what is real. I thought the performances were brilliant and I particularly enjoyed the visuals, for instance images shown very quickly and not really "flowing" which reflected the confusing in Ben's mind.
