Raspberries with Mustard is an intriguing blend of drama and family dynamics, focusing on 13-year-old Meeri Ehrlich. It’s a coming-of-age story, yet it grapples deeply with loss and the complexities of young love. The film carries this melancholic yet hopeful tone, accentuated by understated performances that convey the weight of grief and the innocence of first crushes. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring Meeri's emotional turmoil, and that funeral home setting adds an unusual layer of atmosphere, offering a backdrop that is both somber and strangely comforting. Practical effects are minimal but effective, allowing the emotional beats to shine without overwhelming the narrative. It feels distinct in its exploration of childhood heartbreak and familial relationships in the face of loss.
