Little Deaths

About This Movie

Little Deaths (2023) is a fascinating exploration of familial bonds set against a backdrop of decay and addiction. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the sisters' turbulent lives in that second-hand store. Chun's refuge in the fridge—it's hauntingly symbolic. The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring their chaotic existence. Performances are understated yet impactful, particularly as Chun navigates her uncle's dark side. There’s a rawness to the storytelling that feels authentic, almost confrontational. The combination of practical effects and a gritty aesthetic enhances the overall sense of dread. It’s a film that lingers, not just in story but in the emotions it conjures.
