Killing Ourselves

About This Movie

Killing Ourselves is this unique drama that unravels amidst the stark, desolate beauty of the desert. It’s got this raw, almost uncomfortable intimacy as Aya tries to capture her family on film, but the whole thing just spirals into chaos. The performances are quite compelling, you can feel the tension and the years of unresolved issues bubbling to the surface. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, almost mirroring the unpredictability of family dynamics. They try to collaborate, but it’s almost like they’re trapped in a cycle of bickering. It’s a film that makes you think about how we communicate—or fail to—in families. Not flashy with effects, but it’s that very simplicity that makes it striking.
