Measure

About This Movie

So, 'Measure' is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that captures the complexity of facing one's past. Jen, the lead, takes her autistic son to a birthday party back in her hometown, and it's this setting that stirs up all sorts of buried memories. The pacing feels quite natural, almost like you're walking alongside her as she navigates through both the nostalgia and the awkwardness that comes with it. There's a rawness to the performances, especially from the actress playing Jen, whose internal struggle is palpable. It’s not overly polished but has a certain charm and honesty in how it tackles themes of acceptance and the scars of youth. The atmosphere is layered, oscillating between light-hearted moments and deeper emotional beats that resonate.
