Donkey Days

About This Movie

Donkey Days is an intriguing drama that dives deep into familial complexities. The atmosphere feels both claustrophobic and intimate, as the sisters Anna and Charlotte navigate their strained relationship amidst their mother’s enigmatic past. There’s a rawness in the performances that really brings their struggles to life—it's not just about sibling rivalry, but deeper issues of love, neglect, and unresolved grief. The slow pacing allows for moments of reflection, making the reveal of the donkey's significance all the more poignant. The practical effects are minimal, keeping the focus on character rather than spectacle. It’s a film that lingers, prompting you to think about family ties and the sometimes bizarre things that bind us together.
