Fortuna

About This Movie

Fortuna is this intriguing mix of a child's perspective and a darker undercurrent. The film's atmosphere is haunting, almost dreamlike, as it juxtaposes innocent play with the heavy shadows of a tragic event. I found the pacing to be a bit slow but it really allows the tension to build, especially around Fortuna’s interactions with her two friends. The performances, particularly from the young cast, carry a raw authenticity that feels almost unsettling at times. The themes of innocence, loss, and the impact of trauma are woven throughout, making the film more than just a simple story about a girl. The practical effects, while subtle, enhance this eerie world Fortuna navigates. It's definitely a piece that lingers with you.
