My Father

About This Movie

So, ‘My Father’ is this intense drama that dives into the complexities of family dynamics, particularly revolving around a father who’s just out of prison. Nijat Rahimov really captures that raw, unsettling energy of a man struggling with his own demons. The pacing is somewhat deliberate, which really allows the tension to build - you feel the weight of his past on every interaction. Zarina Gurbanova’s performance complements this nicely, bringing depth to the family’s struggles. It’s not just about a father; it’s about how his past impacts his loved ones. The atmosphere is heavy, often uncomfortable, and that’s what makes it stand out. There’s a bit of an unpredictable edge with how the father’s behavior swings, which keeps you on your toes throughout the film.
