Sherman is an interesting exploration of human connection and societal expectations. The film captures the everyday struggles of a black woman in Long Island, juxtaposed against the innocence of a young Syrian refugee boy. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection, which amplifies the underlying tension in their bond. The performances are raw and gripping, showcasing a palpable chemistry between the lead and the child actor that feels very genuine. What stands out is how it tackles heavy themes like cultural displacement and resilience without resorting to melodrama. It's a quiet film, yet powerful in its message, with a tone that feels both somber and hopeful. Not your typical drama, but it really sticks with you after the credits roll.
