Children of the Mist really immerses you in this remote world. Di is just a kid, yet she’s caught in the complicated web of tradition and expectation. The atmosphere is thick with both beauty and tension, the mist almost feels like a character itself. You get a sense of how deep-rooted these practices are, especially with the chilling concept of bride-napping. The pacing is unhurried, allowing you to really feel the weight of Di’s choices. The documentary captures the performances of everyday life with an authenticity that really pulls you in. It’s not just about Di's experience, it’s a broader commentary on culture, gender roles, and the tug-of-war between tradition and modernity. Quite a poignant watch.
