Nina is an intriguing piece of science fiction that plays with childhood innocence and the strange occurrences that can surface during seemingly mundane moments. The film's atmosphere is thick with mystery, particularly through the lens of a child's imagination. The pacing is a bit unconventional, with a subtle build-up that mirrors Nina's own journey of discovery—both of the object and her relationships with her family. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding an unsettling touch that enhances the film’s themes of memory and forgetfulness, particularly in connection to the grandfather character. Performances are grounded, which lends a certain realism amid the intrigue. It’s a film that leaves you pondering the blurred line between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
