Make A Wish

About This Movie

So, 'Make A Wish' is an intriguing drama, really dives into the psyche of its protagonist, Darto, who's trying to test this old New Year's Eve myth. You get a sense of isolation as he talks to Arum, his sheep, which adds this bizarre yet endearing layer to the narrative. The pacing feels a bit slow at times, but it kind of works, letting you soak in the atmosphere of anticipation before the new year. The practical effects are minimalistic but impactful, creating a sense of realism. The performances are quite nuanced, especially from the lead; you can really feel Darto's desperation and hope. Overall, it’s distinctive in how it approaches what’s often a celebratory time, giving it this oddly contemplative mood.
