Nina

About This Movie

So, Nina (2017) is a pretty raw look at how kids navigate the adult world, you know? Our lead is this talented 12-year-old swimmer, and honestly, the emotional weight of her parents’ split just hangs over everything. The atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable, with those moments of quiet tension really pulling you in. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with her struggles and the way she fights back against the mess around her. It's not flashy—no over-the-top effects here—just solid performances that feel real. What sticks with you is how the film captures that rebellious spirit of youth, making a statement about resilience in the face of adult chaos. Quite distinctive, really.
