My Aunt

About This Movie

My Aunt is this haunting exploration of despair and desperation, set against a backdrop of emotional and physical abuse. The pacing feels almost relentless, capturing Üftade's spiraling mental state as she navigates her suffocating world. The performances are raw and unrefined, lending an authenticity that's hard to shake off. It’s not just about the story; the atmosphere is thick with tension and dread, almost palpable. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well, intensifying the emotional weight rather than distracting from it. You get this sense of confinement, both in the character's life and in the filmmaking style itself. It’s a tough watch, but it leaves you with a lot to think about afterward.

Drama with psychological depth · Tense atmosphere throughout · Strong thematic exploration of abuse
