Reflection

About This Movie

Reflection offers a unique blend of drama and sci-fi, delving into the complexities of family dynamics and the weight of regret. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it really captures that dreamy, introspective atmosphere. The father, emotionally distant, embarks on this almost magical journey through time that’s more about self-discovery than action. There are some interesting practical effects that ground the more fantastical elements, giving it a raw quality instead of relying purely on CGI. The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who brings a palpable depth to a character that many might struggle to empathize with. It’s a film that lingers, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own relationships.
