Sit Still

About This Movie

Sit Still (2021) offers a unique lens into childhood solitude. The empty school setting feels almost like a character itself, enhancing the intimacy of young Adeline's exploration of her emotions. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb each moment as she channels her feelings through the raw, powerful movement of Krump. It's an interesting choice, this dance style, contrasting the stillness of her surroundings with a vibrant expression of turmoil and joy. The lack of a known director lends an intriguing air of mystery, and the performances, especially from the young lead, feel genuine, unguarded. It’s a quiet film that draws you in but leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
