Resurrection

About This Movie

Resurrection (2022) dives into a hauntingly somber narrative as we follow 10-year-old Magda grappling with the loss of her younger brother. The film's atmosphere is thick with grief, particularly from the father, while the mother’s cold demeanor adds to the emotional distance. Magda’s determination to revive her brother is intriguing, and the way the story progresses reflects a delicate balance between childlike innocence and profound sorrow. The pacing is contemplative, allowing us to sit with the characters’ pain, and while it’s largely driven by performances, the practical effects used in depicting Magda's imaginative attempts stand out, adding a layer of surrealism. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of loss, resilience, and the lengths a child might go to in the face of despair.
