Ravens, Buttercups and Myrrh

About This Movie

Ravens, Buttercups and Myrrh is an interesting piece, really. It delves into the complexities of grief through the lens of a young girl, Lára, who’s just lost her father and brother. Joining this quirky theatre group introduces her to a world that’s both whimsical and oddly therapeutic, with the elders bringing a jolt of personality and life that’s quite charming. The film's pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection to settle, while the practical effects in the stage performances lend a unique authenticity. There's a certain warmth to the characters, each adding layers to Lára’s journey of remembrance. It's not just about loss, but the resilience found in community and storytelling, which is quite beautifully done.
