If you love this genre, you'll love this film. I did! It is beautifully curated.
Thomas W. Gabrielsson's poignant portrayal of patriarchal entitlement, is a deep dive into the psyche of a generation content to blame and obfuscate, with gripping consequences. Mirja Turestedt's character is complex and powerful; she's strong yet flawed; intelligent but trapped, forced to confront her own relevance. This character is accomplished, aware of the power of her voice, but inwardly in crisis, unable to advocate for herself in a healthy, meaningful way. Mirja is compelling in this role. Anna Prochniak's performance was moving and sincere; a determined yet sympathetic character. The camera loves Kris Hitchen, who manages to completely capture the attention of the audience whenever he is on screen.
This film has been beautifully and meticulously crafted, a brilliantly adapted screenplay, it is balanced, delicate, intricate, and nuanced; the casting is inspired, and the actors move through the film with grace and precision. The cinematography is superb, a character unto itself, the landscape is vivid with autumnal colors and the natural lighting captures the mood perfectly, ensuring the transition between scenes is seamless. Set against a stunning backdrop, the score elevates the film, skillfully taking you on a journey that remains long after the film has finished.
The detail evident in the making of this film ensures the audience is completely immersed, from beginning to end. I loved it!!
