Dwelling Among the Gods is a haunting look at the refugee experience through the eyes of Fereshteh, a young Afghan woman. Set against the backdrop of an oppressive summer in 2015, it captures the stark reality of displacement and loss. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to really sit with the heavy emotions Fereshteh carries after her brother's tragic drowning. The performances are raw, with an authenticity that cuts deep. The film's use of practical effects to depict the harsh realities of the journey adds a layer of grit, making the experience visceral. It’s distinctive for its ability to blend intimate moments of family life with broader themes of survival in a world that often feels indifferent.
