Ganymede is a diamond-in-the-rough gem with a committed performance from Doww and a well-constructed screenplay from Holt that addresses how outside forces can create imaginary monsters that then could do us harm if we don’t fight them off.

Ganymede is filled with grim, unsettling moments, yet finishes in a space that allows for hope, allows for change, and allows for life in the face of literal and existential death.

While Ganymede is able to capitalise on its metaphor and run with it, it doesn’t manage to sustain suspense long enough to keep us from chuckling about how ridiculous it all is.

Ganymede is rarely subtle and often struggles with tonal whiplash, but an earnest screenplay and a handful of strong performances allow it to rise above its shortcomings.
