Stronger

About This Movie

Stronger immerses us in the life of Hilda, a young girl grappling with the weight of her father's legacy. The film captures that unique blend of innocence and determination, as she navigates her grief while trying to step into the shoes of a strongman. The pacing feels deliberate, giving us space to feel her struggles and triumphs, and there's a rawness to the performances that feels very genuine. Practical effects in the training sequences add a layer of realism, making you feel the physicality of her journey. It’s a character-driven narrative that explores themes of resilience and identity, so it stands out in the drama category. A quieter film, but it has a lot to say about strength in various forms.
