Et Liv

About This Movie

Et Liv is a quiet, haunting exploration of childhood innocence colliding with familial darkness. Mette's world is painted with the vibrancy of childhood—drawing, playing, and simple joys—yet there's an unsettling tension that permeates every scene. The film’s atmosphere is thick with unspoken dread, created through tight framing and a muted color palette that reflects Mette's internal turmoil. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of her father’s increasing volatility. The performances, especially that of the mother, convey a palpable sense of fear and resilience. It’s not flashy, but there's a raw honesty that lingers, a discomfort that makes you think about the realities lurking behind closed doors. It’s a distinct piece that doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of life.

Subtle yet impactful performances · Atmospheric tension throughout · Intense family dynamics at play
