Tinto

About This Movie

So, 'Tinto' is this quiet exploration of grief that really digs into the aftermath of loss. Bia, the protagonist, is just trying to piece together the shattered remnants of her sister Inês' life. The film adopts this dreamlike quality, oscillating between ethereal memories and stark, painful reality. It’s not flashy, but it’s the subtle performances that really stand out—like, you can feel Bia's torment and confusion in every scene. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing us to sit with the discomfort of loss, which might not appeal to everyone, but I think it adds to its authenticity. The way it handles conversations about grief across different relationships, especially with their father, is raw and multilayered. Definitely something that lingers after watching.
