Reba

About This Movie

So, 'Reba' is a quietly intense character study. The film dives into the complicated psyche of a painter who's just out of rehab, and you can really feel the weight of her suspicions about her husband's loyalty. The pacing is slow, but it gives you time to absorb the tension and nuance in their relationship. Alex Curtis does a solid job of building this atmosphere of unease, with practical effects that ground the story in reality. Performances are pretty raw; you can sense the struggle of the protagonist, which makes it engaging. It’s not exactly a feel-good film, but that’s what makes it distinct. It's more about the struggle for trust and self-identity than anything else.
