Let's Call Her Lisa

About This Movie

Let's Call Her Lisa is a quiet yet intense drama that digs deep into familial tensions and the often invisible power struggles over inheritance. Set against the backdrop of a drab provincial town, the film captures the suffocating atmosphere of Katya's life, where a local factory looms large, almost like a character itself. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to feel the weight of Katya's turmoil as she grapples with her mother’s illness and the looming threat of losing what she feels is rightfully hers. Performances are raw, especially from the actress portraying Katya, who embodies a mix of desperation and resilience. The film’s practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the emotional landscape, making every small moment resonate with a certain stark realism that lingers long after the credits roll.
