The Border (2022) is an intriguing thriller that weaves together the lives of two disparate characters—Joxean, who seems blissfully unaware of the risks involved in crossing borders, and Kamaru, who faces danger at every turn. The film captures a unique tension, almost palpable at times, as it delves into themes of survival and the harsh realities of borders, both physical and metaphorical. The pacing has a steady rhythm, allowing moments of quiet reflection alongside sudden bursts of conflict. The performances are solid, bringing depth to characters shaped by their environments. It's the practical effects, particularly in the depictions of nature and the rawness of their experiences, that stand out—adding to the film's gritty atmosphere and immersive storytelling.
