Ebe

About This Movie

Ebe is quite the atmospheric piece set in a remote Anatolian village. The film captures the tension and excitement of a midwife's first experience with childbirth. It’s not just about the birth itself, but also the emotional weight that comes with it. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sink into the protagonist's nervous energy and anticipation. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels authentic, almost documentary-like, which draws you into the intimate setting. The practical effects are minimal yet effective, emphasizing the stark realities of rural life. It's an exploration of life, femininity, and the often unspoken struggles of midwifery. The film leaves you reflecting on these themes long after it ends.
