Wild Rose

About This Movie

Wild Rose is an intriguing exploration of family ties and the unspoken bonds that linger in their shadows. The film centers around Henry, a teenager who unexpectedly shows up at his estranged relative Sarah's doorstep. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the audience to soak in the uncomfortable tension and the emotional weight of their shared history. The performances are understated yet powerful, particularly in how they capture the complexities of familial love and regret. The atmosphere feels almost suffocating at times, which adds to the overall sense of unease. It’s not flashy, but there’s a raw honesty in the storytelling that feels distinct, and the subtlety in the practical effects makes it all the more relatable. It’s a haunting look at how the past intertwines with the present.
