Alexandria

About This Movie

So, 'Alexandria' is an intriguing dive into family history wrapped in a drama that feels both personal and expansive. Nina’s journey to the city her mother left behind in 1956 is painted with a kind of melancholy that really resonates. The pacing is slow, almost contemplative, allowing the viewer to soak up the lush visuals and the heavy atmosphere that Alexandria itself embodies. The theme of unspoken love, especially the mother’s reluctance to share her past, adds layers to the narrative. Performances feel genuine, especially Nina's search for connection with a history that's elusive. It’s not flashy, but there's a charm in its simplicity that makes it stand out in a sea of more conventional dramas.
