Far From Us

About This Movie

So, 'Far From Us' is a real deep dive into family dynamics and the weight of past decisions. The tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really draws you into Ramira's struggle. She returns to this lush, yet unforgiving Misiones rainforest, and the atmosphere is a character in itself, hauntingly beautiful yet filled with tension. The pacing is deliberate – it lets you sit with Ramira's pain and regret, especially since her son doesn’t even recognize her. The performances feel raw and visceral, almost like they’re peeling back layers of abandonment and regret. It's distinctive for how it portrays that complex dance of belonging and estrangement, and the practical effects really amplify the immersive setting.

Themes of abandonment and reconciliation. · Lush yet oppressive atmosphere of the rainforest. · Raw and impactful performances.
