Minion

About This Movie

So, 'Minion' is this intriguing drama set deep in the Romanian countryside. The story follows a young boy who's supposed to take on the role of a sheep herder, which sounds simple enough, right? But then, one of the sheep goes missing, completely upending his life. It's dark and atmospheric, with a kind of slow burn that really builds the tension. You get a real sense of isolation, and the landscape plays a huge role—it feels like another character. The performances are raw, with a naturalism that pulls you in. It's not your typical coming-of-age flick, leaning more into existential themes and the harsh realities of life. Definitely distinctive in its approach, with some practical effects that ground the film in reality.
