Alma

About This Movie

Alma is an intriguing blend of coming-of-age and supernatural elements, centered around a teenage girl with telekinetic abilities. Set against the backdrop of the Lapland War, the film carries a heavy atmosphere; you really get a sense of the tension and desperation of the times. There's a rawness to the practical effects that adds an authentic touch, especially in the action scenes. The pacing can be uneven, but it often reflects the chaotic emotional state of the protagonist. Performances are earnest, and you can feel the weight of the girl's mission to save her father. It’s those themes of family and resilience that linger after the credits roll, making it distinctive in its own right.

Alma is a relatively obscure title and can be quite hard to find, especially in good condition. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but collector interest remains modest due to its niche appeal and limited distribution. Still, for those who appreciate supernatural narratives set against historical backdrops, it’s a hidden gem worth exploring.
