My Family

About This Movie

So, 'My Family' from '87 is this intimate drama that really captures the nuances of family dynamics. You’ve got this nephew stepping in to care for his aunt after her husband's death, which sets up a pretty delicate situation. It’s all about adapting to loneliness and the resulting misunderstandings that come with it. The performances have this rawness that feels authentic, and the pacing allows you to really soak in the characters' emotional struggles. I found it interesting how it tackles themes of connection and isolation without getting too heavy-handed. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well—everything feels grounded. Overall, it’s a quieter piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
