Astres

About This Movie

Astres is quite a haunting film that weaves the fabric of grief into an almost ethereal experience. Hyo-Jin's journey back to Korea is filled with this palpable tension, a push and pull between her emotional turmoil and her scientific rationality. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, which adds to its atmospheric weight. The performances, particularly that of the lead, are raw and layered, capturing the essence of denial amidst sorrow. Those moments where the external world bleeds into her internal struggles are crafted with a subtlety that resonates. It’s not flashy, but the quiet intensity of its narrative leaves a lingering impact, one that reflects on love, loss, and the complexities of how we cope.
