Beth

About This Movie

So, 'Beth' is this intriguing 2001 drama that dives deep into the complexities of mental health within a hospital setting. It’s a mix of tension and raw emotion, especially with Pesta, played by Bucek Depp, whose troubled past adds layers to his character. The pacing is deliberately slow, really letting the atmosphere seep in, making you feel the weight of the characters' struggles. Ine Febriyanti as Beth brings a haunting fragility to the role, especially given her backstory as the daughter of a powerful official. The film doesn't shy away from exploring themes of privilege versus reality, all while using practical effects that are subtle yet impactful. There’s a gritty authenticity here that’s hard to shake off, a sense that you’re not just watching but experiencing their world.
