Een Jong Meisje

About This Movie

‘Een Jong Meisje’ unfolds like a slow-burning tragedy, rooted deep in the rural landscape. Gilda de Bal’s portrayal of Emma feels so raw; you’re drawn into her spiraling world. It’s not just about the farm, it’s about memory, loss, and the struggle against inevitable change. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, echoing Emma’s descent into her own denial. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the characters’ pain. Geert’s efforts to save both Emma and the farm create a tension that’s palpable. The practical effects, though subtle, serve the emotional weight beautifully. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind, urging you to reflect on the complexities of family and the ties that bind us.
