Next to Her

About This Movie

So, 'Next to Her' is a pretty raw look at the bond between Rachel and her sister Gabby. Rachel's juggling everything, and the film captures that claustrophobic feeling of her life. It's got this steady, almost relentless pace, always pulling you into the emotional weight of their situation. The performances—particularly by the lead—really sell the struggle and love between them. There's a palpable tension when the social worker steps in, creating this sense of impending loss. It’s not flashy at all, but that’s part of its charm. The small moments, the quiet interactions, they hit hard. It’s an intimate look at familial responsibility that really sticks with you.
