Levitation

About This Movie

Levitation (1997) showcases Sarah Paulson in a poignant role as a pregnant teen, grappling with the search for her biological mother. The film intertwines drama and fantasy in a way that feels ethereal yet grounded, almost dreamlike at times. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it lends to that sense of searching and longing. What struck me was the use of practical effects to depict the angel's presence—simple yet effective, enhancing the film’s spiritual undertones. Paulson delivers a raw performance, capturing the turmoil of her character beautifully. It’s one of those films that lingers, with themes of identity and connection that resonate long after the credits roll.
