Soft Leaves

About This Movie

Soft Leaves is an understated drama that really dives into the complexities of childhood and trauma. Yuna, just 11, grapples with the fallout of her father's accident, and the film does a remarkable job of capturing her emotional turmoil. The atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, inviting viewers into her world of confusion and resistance. There's this palpable tension in the pacing; it lingers in moments, allowing viewers to sit with Yuna's fear of change. The performances feel raw, almost unfiltered, particularly from the young actress portraying Yuna. The practical effects here are subtle but effective, grounding the film in a sense of reality that enhances its themes of family and resilience. It’s that kind of film that stays with you, not for its grandeur, but for its quiet moments.
