Digger

About This Movie

Digger is an interesting slice of drama that dives into the complexities of familial relationships. The setting is rustic, a cabin in the woods that feels both isolating and intimate. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which might not be everyone's cup of tea but allows for a deeper connection with the characters. Jonny's return after 20 years brings a tension that's palpable, especially with Nikitas, who embodies that classic hermit archetype. The film tackles themes of legacy and the environment, and the practical effects used in the digging scenes really bring that visceral element to the forefront. Performances are understated yet impactful, making you ponder long after the credits roll.
