Eigenheimers is quite the somber piece. The way it delves into Xander's trauma after losing his parents to violence makes for a heavy atmosphere throughout. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it somehow adds to the rawness of Xander's journey with his uncle Jaap, who's a potato farmer—kind of an odd pairing, but it works strangely well. The performances, especially from the lesser-known cast, bring a kind of authenticity that you don't always find in bigger productions. They really embody the struggles of small-town life and the weight of grief. It’s fascinating how this TV movie tackles themes of family and resilience, using practical effects sparingly but effectively, which gives the whole piece a grounded feel. Definitely a unique watch if you're interested in character-driven narratives.
