Her Sketchbook

About This Movie

Her Sketchbook is an introspective piece, capturing the essence of isolation through Mami's world of art and imagination. The film has this melancholic atmosphere, almost suffocating, as you dive into her struggles with reality and the weight of her father's concern. The pacing is deliberate, letting each moment linger, allowing you to feel Mami's internal battles. It’s not flashy—no grand effects or bombastic moments—but rather relies on the subtle performances that convey deep emotional currents. You can sense her father's desperation, trying to reach out while grappling with his own failures. The distinct choice of focusing on the mundane aspects of her life creates a resonant portrait of youth in crisis.
