The In Between

About This Movie

So, 'The In Between' is this documentary by Robie Flores that hits hard on a personal level. She’s back in her childhood town, Eagle Pass, after losing her brother, which is a heavy backdrop. The film really captures that bittersweet vibe of nostalgia, mixing in those wild, teenage moments like quinceañeras and river trips. It's like she’s trying to reconcile her past while navigating through all the chaos of growing up. The pacing feels reflective, almost like a gentle ebb and flow, letting you soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects are low-key but effective, and the way she frames her hometown feels intimate. You can really feel the pulse of that border town life throughout the film.
