Healing

About This Movie

Healing (2021) presents a raw glimpse into the life of 17-year-old Autumn, as seen through her little brother’s perspective. The film dives deep into the emotional turmoil surrounding her struggle with an eating disorder. It’s not just about the illness; it captures the heaviness of family dynamics, the unspoken pain, and the longing for understanding. The pacing feels almost languid at times, allowing the tension to seep in gradually, which heightens the film's emotional weight. The performances are strikingly authentic—especially from the young leads—bringing a palpable vulnerability to their roles. The atmosphere is tinged with a bittersweet melancholy that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a distinctive piece about healing and the complexity of familial love.
