Exprés

About This Movie

Exprés is a raw drama that digs deep into the tumultuous relationship between a mother and her junkie daughter. The film manages to create a heavy atmosphere, primarily set in the confines of their kitchen, which feels almost suffocating as the mother grapples with her daughter's self-destructive tendencies. There’s a slow burn quality to the storytelling, emphasizing the emotional weight rather than flashy visuals or effects. The performances are grounded, and you can really feel the mother's desperation and determination. It’s not your typical mother-daughter narrative; it’s gritty and unfiltered, making it a distinctive piece that resonates with anyone familiar with the struggles of addiction and familial bonds. Definitely one for collectors who appreciate nuanced character studies.
