Tether is this quiet gem from 2015, touching on deep familial bonds and the rawness of survival. Neli, our young protagonist, is a Mayan girl, and her spirit really drives the story. You feel the weight of her world as she hustles to save her sister, who’s in a dire situation. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects are understated but serve the narrative well, grounding the film in a reality that feels very much lived-in. The performances, especially from the leads, have this authenticity that draws you in, making the stakes feel personal. It's a film that lingers in your mind, perhaps more for its heart than for its flashy style.
