About This Movie

Sometime in August is this quiet drama that really captures that feeling of summer loading with both promise and tension. You have Thomas and Hanna, seemingly in this perfect bubble, diving into a renovation project that suggests renewal. But then, Friedrich enters the scene, and the mood shifts. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing you to feel the weight of unresolved issues simmering beneath the surface. There's a rawness in the performances that’s quite compelling, especially as you see how depression impacts the dynamics among them. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and unfulfilled expectations, making it a bit haunting, like the old house itself. It’s not just about fixing a place, it’s about confronting deeper truths.
