Better Living

About This Movie

So, 'Better Living' directed by Frank Ritz dives into a pretty heavy space. The film captures the aftermath of an emotional breakdown with this woman at its center, and the pacing feels deliberate, almost like it’s mirroring her recovery process. There’s a palpable tension in the air, and it really pulls you in as she navigates her way through self-reflection and the decision of whether to re-enter the workforce. The performances are raw and real, especially the lead, who brings a depth that feels authentic. It’s not flashy—there are no over-the-top effects here, just solid storytelling that leans into the psychological. Definitely one of those films that sticks with you long after it ends.
