Baggage

About This Movie

So, 'Baggage' is this quiet, introspective drama that really nails the feeling of being caught between worlds. Sheila's decision to move into a dorm while so close to home adds a layer of tension and exploration of independence. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with her anxieties and hopes. You can almost feel the weight of her past experiences with every scene. The performances lean into raw emotion without overdoing it, creating a stark yet relatable atmosphere. What stands out is how it uses practical effects—simple but effective—like ambient sounds and natural lighting to ground the story. It's a film that encourages reflection, making you think about your own baggage, if you will.
