Hunting Season

About This Movie

Hunting Season is this raw exploration of familial estrangement set against the stark and beautiful backdrop of Patagonia. It’s not just about the hunting; it’s really about the hunt for connection and understanding between Nahuel and Ernesto. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to simmer, almost palpable at times. The performances really dig deep; you can feel the weight of pride and resentment in their interactions. The film's use of the wild landscape feels more like a character than a setting, adding to the emotional turmoil. And while the drama unfolds, the practical effects during the hunting scenes add a visceral quality that feels grounded, yet it’s the emotional journey that lingers longer than any shot.
