Sorcery

About This Movie

Sorcery (2017) presents a rather intimate look at a young girl’s journey. The film unfolds with a somewhat meandering pace, which some might find reminiscent of older, more contemplative dramas. The atmosphere has this haunting quality, partly due to its understated cinematography that captures both the beauty and the desolation of her surroundings. The themes of escape and familial tension are palpable, and there’s this interesting tension throughout the narrative that keeps you engaged. The performances, especially by the young lead, feel raw and genuine, adding a layer of authenticity. It’s distinct in that it doesn’t rely on flashy effects or dramatic plot twists; it leans more into emotional resonance, which is refreshing in a sea of typical narratives.
