Distances

About This Movie

So, 'Distances' is one of those films that really dives into the psyche of grief, you know? This young musician comes back home after his father’s passing and, man, the atmosphere is thick with tension. The hallucinations he experiences are not just gimmicks; they reflect his inner turmoil and really mess with his relationships. The pacing feels slow at times, which might put some off, but it really adds to the weight of his emotional journey. The practical effects used for the hallucinations are surprisingly effective, almost surreal in a grounded way. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing that sense of loss beautifully. It’s not your typical family drama; it’s more about the struggle to connect amidst chaos.
