Killing Auntie is a rather peculiar piece. It's this slow-burn drama that focuses on Jurek, a 23-year-old history student, living in what feels like a gilded cage with his aunt. The atmosphere is thick with existential dread. You can really feel the monotony in his life, and it’s interesting how the film captures that malaise through its pacing—almost hypnotic at times. The performances are solid; the tension builds quietly, yet there's this looming dread that makes you wonder where it’s all headed. The practical effects, though not abundant, are impactful when they hit, lending an unsettling edge to a story that’s more about internal conflict than external chaos. It’s a distinctive exploration of familial ties and the weight of expectation.
