About This Movie

Older is a quietly introspective film that captures the complexities of teenage life with a gentle hand. The atmosphere feels almost intimate, like you're peeking into the lives of these characters. Amine's journey through recovery after his bicycle accidents becomes a metaphor for growing up and navigating relationships. The pacing feels natural, not rushed, allowing moments of reflection. The performances, especially from the young cast, are sincere and grounded, which gives it a rawness that’s refreshing. One standout aspect is its use of practical effects; the injury looks real and adds to the authenticity of his experience. There's a bittersweet vibe to it—it's not just about love but the awkwardness of youth and the impact of seemingly simple interactions.
