The Estate

About This Movie

The Estate is this mix of dark comedy and family drama, set against the backdrop of impending death and greed. Macey and Savanna, both kind of hapless and desperate, try to charm their cantankerous Aunt Hilda for her money. The pacing feels almost frantic at times, which adds to the tension among the family members, all vying for the same prize. The performances are a standout; you can feel the layers of desperation from Macey, while Savanna provides a sort of frenetic energy. There’s an interesting contrast in the characters—some are just plain greedy while others are more nuanced, revealing the lengths people go to for family and fortune. It has this almost absurd atmosphere that keeps it engaging.
