Autumn (2023) is a documentary that drifts through the quiet life of Mehri, an 80-year-old grandmother living in a small Iranian town. The pace is gentle, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the loneliness and resilience of her existence. It’s a poignant exploration of familial bonds, or the lack thereof, as she reflects on her past while waiting for sons who haven’t visited in decades. The cinematography captures the stark beauty of her surroundings, enhancing that sense of isolation. The film thrives on its raw, unvarnished moments—Mehri’s expressions and the soft sounds of her home play a big part in drawing you in. It’s a reflective piece that lingers long after it ends.
