About This Movie

So, 'Ramona' (2023) is this interesting hybrid doc that blurs the lines between fiction and reality. An actress, in her prep for a role, gets into conversations with young girls who are pregnant, and it's raw. The girls really open up, sharing their lives in a way that feels incredibly genuine. The pacing feels organic, almost meandering at times, which lets their stories breathe. It's not flashy, but the atmosphere is intimate and human—definitely not a typical documentary. There's something really compelling about how the actress's process intertwines with these girls’ lives. It gives a fresh perspective on motherhood and youth, and the practical effects are all about those real moments rather than any glamour. A distinct piece for sure.
