Deer Girl

About This Movie

So, 'Deer Girl' dives deep into the complexities of family dynamics. Rachele, the lead, is this fascinating character who laughs at strangers online, but her world is anything but lighthearted. The film's tone is almost suffocating, capturing a kind of dark intimacy between her parents that’s chilling. You see tenderness morphing into control and fear—a visceral experience. The pacing is deliberate, allowing those moments of tension to build, almost like a slow burn. And the performances? They’re raw, striking a balance between vulnerability and strength. The atmosphere is thick with unease, and while it may not have flashy effects, the practical elements create a haunting reality. Definitely a film that lingers with you long after it’s over.
