Fourteen

About This Movie

Fourteen feels deeply personal, yet it captures that universal struggle of familial relationships. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sink into the awkwardness and tension between the siblings. It’s almost like a slice of life, but there’s this underlying current of grief that propels their interaction. The performances, particularly between the leads, are raw and layered; you really feel the weight of their estrangement. And it’s shot with a kind of stark realism that lets the emotion breathe. Practical effects are minimal, but the focus on dialogue and the characters’ body language really bring the story to life. It’s an exploration of reconnection tinged with loss, and that makes it distinct from other dramas out there.
