Rising Sun (2018) dives into the murky waters of grief and mystery. A junior high boy's tragic drowning sets the stage for a haunting journey, especially when his mother stumbles upon an exam sheet that raises unsettling questions. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating, reflecting her spiraling emotions. The tone is heavy, almost somber, with a palpable sense of loss that permeates every scene. Performances are raw and grounded, capturing the essence of despair and confusion. What stands out is how the film plays with silence and isolation, leaving viewers with an unsettling atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It's not your typical drama, and that’s what makes it memorable.
