The Beginning

About This Movie

The Beginning is quite a raw exploration of the emotional turmoil that comes with a breakup. Shot in a relatively simple style, the film leans heavily on dialogue, making the atmosphere feel intimate and almost claustrophobic. Biel and Aina's performances stand out, capturing that tension between wanting to let go and holding on to something that once felt right. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to sit with their feelings, which can be both frustrating and cathartic. There are no flashy effects here, just two individuals facing their truths on a train platform – it feels grounded, real. You get a real sense of the weight of first love and the sadness of moving on. It’s a slice of life that resonates more than you might expect.
