Reflection

About This Movie

Reflection (2022) is a quiet exploration of memory and loss, conveyed through the lens of a rainy, almost claustrophobic atmosphere. Roisin’s introspection while gazing at her reflection sets a somber tone that permeates the film. The pink dress acts as a poignant symbol of nostalgia, bringing back vivid memories of simpler, more joyful times spent with Aunty Aine. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Roisin's feelings and slowly unravel the layers of her emotional state. Performances are subtle but arresting, particularly how the lead captures a mix of longing and melancholy. It’s not flashy, but rather a reflective piece that stays with you, quietly resonating long after the credits roll.
