About This Movie

Something About Her is an intimate exploration of friendship and vulnerability, set against the backdrop of Santa Barbara's affluent lifestyle. The film follows a socialite grappling with ALS, her world of luxury starkly contrasted by her growing dependence on her caretaker from Senegal. The performances are raw and heartfelt; you can really feel the emotional weight they carry. Colpaert's direction brings a sense of realism to the atmosphere—there's a kind of gentle pacing that allows viewers to sit with the characters, absorbing their struggles and joys. The practical effects, though minimal, serve to underscore the gravity of the socialite's condition without overshadowing the genuine moments of connection. It’s a nuanced take on companionship and the boundaries we cross for those we care about.
