Better or Worse?

About This Movie

Better or Worse? is an intriguing drama that really delves into the mind of an eight-year-old girl named Rachel. It’s got this raw, almost intimate quality that pulls you in. Rachel’s experiments to navigate her defective eyesight are fascinating, not just for the visual aspect but for how they reflect her inner turmoil. There’s a certain pacing that feels contemplative, allowing us to digest her experiences slowly. The performances, though understated, are quite affecting; you feel her frustrations and joys. The film leans heavily on practical effects, giving it a grounded feel, which contrasts nicely with the weighty themes of perception and reality. It’s a unique little gem that often gets overlooked, but there’s depth here worth exploring.
