This Way Up dives into a raw, unsettling atmosphere, capturing the slow encroachment of the separation wall on a senior citizens' home. The film's pacing lingers, allowing you to absorb the isolation and tension that builds as the wall cuts off these residents from the outside world. There's a profound focus on the everyday lives of the elderly, juxtaposed with the harsh reality of their surroundings. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the starkness of the environment. What stands out is the poignant, almost haunting sense of loss and disconnection felt by both the residents and their visitors. It's a subdued, reflective piece that lingers long after viewing, stirring thoughts about separation and community.
