And So We Come Forth

About This Movie

And So We Come Forth, directed by Richard Nelson, really captures that intimate, almost claustrophobic vibe of family discussions during a pandemic. The Apple Family, a familiar ensemble, gathers to unpack their thoughts and feelings about recent events, and you can really feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the conversations to unfold naturally, almost like eavesdropping on a real family gathering. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, almost like they’re just talking to each other rather than acting. It’s a unique take on the pandemic theme, focusing not on the chaos outside but rather the emotional landscape inside. The lack of flashy effects makes it all the more impactful; it’s really about the words and the space between them.
