Trials, Exorcisms

About This Movie

So, 'Trials, Exorcisms' is a quiet but heavy drama directed by Susana Nobre. You really feel the weight of Oscar's life—he's a guy in his late forties and stuck in this loop of uncertainty, waiting for the court's decision on his factory's fate. The film has this almost oppressive atmosphere; the mountains and river sort of loom over the village, reflecting the tension in Oscar’s life. The pacing is deliberate, letting you sit with the characters' struggles. The performances are grounded, especially Oscar’s portrayal, which feels authentic and raw. It’s a reflection on labor, loss, and the harsh realities of modern life, with practical effects that keep things real, no flashy gimmicks here. Worth a watch if you enjoy character-driven stories.
