Hazel's Heart

About This Movie

So, 'Hazel's Heart' is set in this eerie prelude to a blizzard back in 1920 North Dakota. It captures a raw, haunting atmosphere, focusing on the Miner siblings as they navigate their last moments before the storm hits. The pacing is deliberate, letting the tension build slowly, almost like the snow piling up outside. You really feel the isolation and the weight of their situation. The performances are quite gritty and grounded, especially from the kids, and there's something about the practical effects that evoke this chilling realism—like you can almost feel the cold seeping in. It’s distinctive for how it paints a vivid picture of hardship and resilience through its tight-knit character dynamics. Definitely a film that lingers well after the credits roll.
