Trouble

About This Movie

Trouble (2019) offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Mariah Garnett's father, blending his activism in Belfast with her own perspective. The documentary's tone is deeply personal, almost immersive. There's this rawness to the way it unfolds, using letters and interviews to stitch together a narrative that feels both historical and intimate. The pacing has a reflective quality – you get drawn into his story, yet it’s punctuated by these clever reenactments that add a surreal layer. You don't see that often in docs. The archival footage serves not as mere background, but rather brings a haunting atmosphere that lingers. It's like you’re not just watching history but experiencing the emotional weight of it through their relationship. Quite distinctive in its approach.
