The First 100 Years Are Hard is one of those films that draws you into a relentlessly bleak atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, mirroring the protagonist's routine—a life filled with monotony and unrelenting worries about family and work. The performances are raw and grounded, capturing the weight of daily struggles and the desire for an escape to a better life. It’s not flashy or over-the-top; rather, it thrives in its subtlety and realism. You really feel the exhaustion radiating off the screen. The practical effects, if any, are minimal, allowing the poignant storytelling to take center stage. There's something distinct about how it resonates, a quiet reflection on the human condition that lingers long after the credits roll.
