Be Still

About This Movie

Be Still is an intriguing exploration of an artist's descent into her own psyche. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, as Hannah, played with a raw intensity, navigates her tumultuous journey. The film’s atmosphere is thick with existential questions, and the interplay of light and shadow in Lazebnik's direction enhances the haunting visuals. Those mirror images of Hannah and her daughter’s ghost are striking, almost unsettling, adding layers to the narrative. It’s not just about photography; it digs into the complexities of identity and loss. The practical effects used to convey her vision are both subtle and compelling, grounding the more surreal elements in something tangible. A unique take on the historical drama genre, it celebrates the creative process while hinting at madness.
