Birthday Girl is one of those films that stays with you long after it’s over. The atmosphere is thick with an undercurrent of tension as the protagonist, a woman recently declared free from leukaemia, prepares for what should be a joyous celebration. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective, as we see her grappling with the weight of her circumstances. It’s intriguing how the party, meant to signify hope, becomes a backdrop for hidden truths - not just hers, but those of her guests. The performances are grounded, making the emotional stakes resonate. There’s something quite raw about the way the film handles themes of secrecy and vulnerability. It gets you thinking about the masks we wear, even in moments of supposed joy.
