When I Close My Eyes

About This Movie

When I Close My Eyes is a quiet exploration of memory and loss. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to linger on Allison's inner turmoil as she grapples with her parents' divorce. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost dreamlike, which pairs well with the themes of nostalgia and the struggle to move on. It's interesting how the film leans more on practical effects to create a sense of realism, grounding the more ethereal aspects of Allison's memories. Performances are raw, with the lead embodying a mix of vulnerability and strength that really captures that moment in life when you just can't let go. It’s a film that resonates on a personal level, albeit in a subtle manner.
