Better (2023) dives into the complex dynamics of sisterhood with a raw, almost intimate lens. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken tension, and the pacing feels deliberate—almost contemplative. You really feel the weight of the protagonist’s surprise and confusion as she navigates her sister’s new reality, one she's been estranged from due to illness. The performances are striking; there's a vulnerability that lingers in their exchanges. Practical effects are minimal but impactful, adding to the grounded feel of the story. It’s that kind of film that stays with you, asking questions about acceptance and change in relationships. Definitely has a distinct voice, one that resonates long after the credits roll.
