If You Only Knew, from 2011, is a pretty somber exploration of memory and loss, focusing on Louise, a fashion designer grappling with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, as it delves into her past traumas which seem to feed into her present struggles. The pacing can feel a bit slow, but that really amplifies the emotional weight—like you're stuck in a moment with her. Performances are raw and unfiltered, capturing the essence of someone slowly slipping away. It’s not flashy; the practical effects serve the narrative rather than distract from it. There's a kind of stark beauty in how it portrays the fragility of memory and the lingering shadows of past abuse.
