The Waiting is a poignant documentary that captures the raw essence of survival in Zaatari, a refugee camp in Jordan. Director Rizzi's observational style immerses you in the daily life of Ekhlas Alhlwani and her children, effectively portraying the monotony and despair many face. It’s not just about the struggle but also about the resilience of the human spirit. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing moments of silence to linger, which enhances the weight of their stories. Practical effects are minimal, but the realness of the performances from the women lend an authenticity that’s hard to shake off. The film raises questions about hope and displacement, making it a valuable piece for anyone interested in the human condition amidst crisis.
