Care

About This Movie

Care (2021) stands out in the documentary landscape with its unique blend of autobiography and musical elements. It’s a raw and personal journey through the social care system, viewed through the eyes of Abike, a character grappling with the emotional turbulence of being shuffled through foster homes. The animation adds a surreal layer, intensifying the atmosphere of angst and reflection. Klein’s performance is deeply felt, capturing a sense of displacement and longing. The pacing varies, sometimes lingering on intimate moments that feel almost diary-like, which gives the viewer a chance to breathe and reflect. It’s this combination of styles and themes that makes Care a distinctive piece, not just as a documentary but as an artistic exploration of friendship and resilience.
