To Be A Good One

About This Movie

To Be A Good One has this raw, tender energy that really draws you in. At its core, it's about a child's quest for safety and love, which is just heart-wrenching. Clara, played with an innocent depth, runs away to find her father but ends up lost in more ways than one. The pacing is intriguing—slow enough to build tension but quick enough to keep you invested. The atmosphere feels almost claustrophobic at times, capturing the child's perspective perfectly. Julia Wagner's character is a standout; her maternal instincts kick in hard, and her conflicted emotions come through beautifully. There’s a certain grittiness in the practical effects that adds to the authenticity of Clara's struggles. It leaves you with a lot to think about after the credits roll.
