Cord is a haunting exploration of confinement and obligation. The apartment feels suffocating, a perfect backdrop for the tension between the daughter and her mother. The performances are raw, the daughter’s routines are both mundane and unsettling, like feeding through a bottle and securing her mother to the table. You sense this atmosphere of desperation, the weight of a troubled past lurking in every interaction. The pacing might feel slow, but it heightens the dread, pulling you deeper into their intertwined lives. There's a stark realism here, a discomforting look at familial bonds and mental deterioration. It’s these themes that linger long after the credits roll.
