About This Movie

Lorna (2021) is a raw exploration of resilience and gender roles set in a tight-knit coastal community. The atmosphere is heavy with loss, yet there’s a palpable sense of determination. The pacing allows for a deep dive into Lorna’s struggles—almost meditative at times, but it picks up when her resolve shines through. The film's practical effects, especially during the sea scenes, add a gritty realism that enhances the emotional stakes. The performances feel authentic, particularly from the lead, who captures a mother’s fierce love and vulnerability. It’s distinctive in how it portrays a woman's fight against societal norms while weaving a narrative that’s both personal and universal.
