90 Days at Home

About This Movie

90 Days at Home is a slice-of-life documentary that offers a unique perspective on the 2020 lockdown, all through the eyes of a child navigating literacy lessons at home. The tone is intimate, almost raw, as it captures the mundane yet significant moments of learning and adjusting to a new reality. What stands out here is the pacing; it doesn’t rush, allowing those small, sometimes chaotic moments to breathe. The film leans heavily into themes of resilience and the innocence of childhood, contrasted with the backdrop of a global crisis. It’s distinct in how it avoids heavy narration, letting the child’s experiences and voice carry the narrative. The practical effects are minimal, relying on real-life footage, which adds to its authenticity. A quiet but impactful observation of life redefined.
