Favourites

About This Movie

Favourites is a pretty intriguing film that kind of lingers in your mind. It's a road movie at its core, but it captures this raw, almost gritty atmosphere that feels both familiar and unsettling. The pacing can be a bit uneven, which some might find frustrating, but it does a good job of reflecting Sofia’s turbulent emotional journey. The performances are quite poignant; you really get a sense of her loneliness and determination. It’s not flashy, leaning more on practical effects and real locations, which adds to that authentic feel. Themes of family and identity are explored without heavy-handedness, making it resonate in a subtle way.

Favourites is a bit of an enigma in the collector's market. Given the director’s unknown status and the film’s limited release, it hasn't garnered widespread attention, which makes it somewhat scarce. There are a few independent screenings and potentially some home media releases, but finding a copy might take some digging. Collectors interested in road films or character-driven stories will likely appreciate its understated charm and unique narrative style.
