About This Movie

Season (2016) presents a somber exploration of grief and faith. Set against the backdrop of 1990s rural Australia, the film captures Simon’s haunting journey after his brother’s death. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, filled with a palpable tension that grows as he becomes infatuated with Ruth, the pastor's ailing daughter. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of Simon's obsession to unfold gradually, creating a slow-burn tragedy. The performances are raw and emotional, particularly the chemistry between Simon and Ruth, which blurs the lines between love and desperation. What stands out is the use of practical effects to convey a sense of realism in the spiritual and emotional turmoil. It’s a film that lingers, inviting reflection rather than simply providing resolution.
