Alli

About This Movie

Alli (2022) dives into the eerie contrast of a serene village life turned chaotic. The film centers on Alli, a village girl, navigating her father’s protective yet suffocating love amidst a backdrop of lush forests. There's this palpable tension that builds slowly, creating an atmosphere thick enough to cut with a knife. The forest, almost a character in its own right, becomes a place of refuge, but also a realm of unpredictable danger. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, enhancing the tension without overshadowing the performances. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence that amplify the sense of dread. The performances, particularly the lead, evoke a raw emotional depth that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s distinctive for its nuanced storytelling and immersive visuals.
