About This Movie

Sit (2016) offers a deeply personal glimpse into the life of a family intertwined with Buddhist practice. The documentary feels intimate, almost like a home video, yet it explores profound themes of spirituality and the passage of time. The pacing is contemplative, mirroring the meditative nature of its subject. It’s not flashy or overly produced, which I find adds to its authenticity. The way it captures the quiet moments of daily life at the temple really draws you in. The performances are genuine, especially from the father, whose commitment to his path is palpable. There’s something distinctive about how it balances family dynamics with spiritual exploration, making it a unique entry in the documentary genre.
