Calm

About This Movie

CALM is a thought-provoking drama that navigates the complexities of cultural expectations through the eyes of a father, Deng, and his teenage daughter, Miranda. The film's slow, deliberate pacing allows you to really immerse yourself in the emotional weight of their situation. Set against the backdrop of contemporary London, the stark contrast highlights the clash of tradition and modernity. The performances are raw and genuine, especially how Deng struggles with respect and duty towards his daughter, while grappling with the harrowing implications of female genital mutilation. It's a film that doesn't shy away from difficult subjects, using practical effects sparingly but effectively to underscore the gravity of its themes. There's a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
