Crestfallen

About This Movie

Crestfallen is a quiet exploration of identity and loss. The film's tone is somber, reflecting Tuva's internal struggle after her parents' tragic accident. There's an almost dreamlike pacing as she embarks on this journey with her daughter, blending moments of despair with fleeting hope. The performances feel raw and believable, especially in the scenes where Tuva grapples with her feelings of betrayal and abandonment. It’s not flashy—no grand visual effects here—but the realness of the emotions carries the narrative. What makes it stand out is the way it tackles the complexities of family and the search for belonging. The atmosphere is heavy yet contemplative, making you reflect long after it ends.
