Most of the Time We Are Just Waiting

About This Movie

This film, 'Most of the Time We Are Just Waiting,' really nails that sense of creeping tension in a suburban setting. You’ve got thirteen-year-old Nora, who’s like a mix of vulnerability and determination as she seeks her older sister amidst the chaos of an evacuation. The pacing feels intentional, almost like a slow burn, drawing you into her world while layering on that feeling of anxiety. The performances are raw; you can see the uncertainty in Nora’s eyes. It’s all about that adolescent struggle for connection and understanding, punctuated by the quiet yet palpable dread as she and the boy next door search for her sister. There’s something haunting about it, especially with the backdrop of a town on the brink of chaos.

Finding this film in any format can be a bit tricky; it hasn't seen a wide release, and collectors often mention its limited festival run as a point of interest. The atmosphere and thematic depth, however, have sparked a niche audience who appreciate its nuanced storytelling. It doesn’t often pop up at conventions or online sales, making it somewhat of a hidden gem for those who enjoy intimate dramas that explore the complexities of youth.
