Aster is this understated family drama from 1991 that flies under the radar in a way that's kind of refreshing. The tone is heavy, steeped in a quiet melancholy that feels real. The pacing meanders, taking its time to explore the complexities within the family dynamics, which can be both frustrating and rewarding. The performances are solid, evoking a genuine sense of struggle and connection, though not without their flaws. There’s a certain rawness to the practical effects used, lending an authentic, almost gritty feel to the narrative. It’s not flashy, but there’s something distinctive about how it handles themes of love, loss, and the often messy nature of familial relationships. Definitely a piece that resonates with those who appreciate deeper storytelling.
