Hold On Little Girl

About This Movie

Hold On Little Girl, directed by Miky Havis, captures that bittersweet atmosphere of impending change. The film gives us a deeply poignant glimpse into Farah's last day at home, a blend of joy and melancholy underscored by her father's struggle to let go. The pacing feels natural, almost real-time, which heightens the emotional stakes. There's a rawness in the performances, especially from the father, who embodies that mix of pride and sorrow. The practical effects, mostly in the form of everyday settings and interactions, keep it grounded. You really get a sense of familial love, the kind that both uplifts and weighs down. It’s a reflective piece about transitions and the complexities of saying goodbye.
