Today is a contemplative drama that dives deep into isolation and the human experience. The film centers on Eva, an elderly woman who’s grappling with her solitude, only finding company in a lizard trapped in a fishbowl. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to feel the weight of her confinement and the yearning for connection. The subtle performances resonate, particularly as Eva's frustration boils over, leading her to demand a ride from her reluctant granddaughter. There’s an interesting contrast between the mundane and the profound, making you reflect on aging and the relationships we often take for granted. It’s modest in scale but rich in atmosphere, and the practical effects — mainly the lizard — add a layer of poignancy.
