Cheers

About This Movie

Cheers (2015) is quite a raw and intimate drama that dives deep into the complexities of familial love and the scars left by addiction. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere of regret and longing. Raghani’s direction is understated, yet it captures the tension beautifully as the protagonist, now a man, faces the ghosts of his past. Performances are grounded, particularly the lead, who conveys that mix of anger and yearning so well. It doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of alcoholism, presenting it in a way that feels real rather than sensationalized. The practical effects, while minimal, serve the narrative without being intrusive. It’s a film that lingers, making you reflect long after the credits roll.

Interesting character study · Focus on mother-son dynamics · Depicts addiction realistically
