Mountain View

About This Movie

Mountain View presents a poignant exploration of the psychological scars inflicted by war. The atmosphere is heavy, suffused with a sense of longing and introspection. Gwil, the injured soldier, carries the weight of his experiences, juxtaposed against the carefree play of his young nephews. It’s a striking contrast that underlines the film’s core themes of innocence lost and the haunting memories that linger long after the battle is over. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the characters and their turmoil. Performances feel raw and authentic, lending a distinct realism. It's not flashy, but the grounded approach and minimalistic practical effects emphasize the internal struggles rather than external action, which I find really compelling.
