Pandemic Bread

About This Movie

So, 'Pandemic Bread' is quite a thought-provoking piece. It dives deep into the emotional turmoil faced by Luz, a Filipina interpreter caught in the whirlwind of the early COVID crisis. The film has this raw, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors the isolation everyone felt back then. It's not your usual drama; it’s slow-paced but deliberately so, allowing the weight of each conversation to settle. The performances are genuine, particularly the dynamic between Luz and Dr. Balogun, which captures a blend of hope and despair. It’s distinct in how it handles life and death discussions, making you reflect on what choices really mean when everything feels so uncertain. The practical effects are minimal, focusing more on dialogue than spectacle, which works well here.
