Sole

About This Movie

Sole dives into a hauntingly intimate exploration of grief and identity. The film's atmosphere is thick with emotion, as we watch an embalmer wrestle with her role in a young trans boy's final journey. It's not just about the physical act of preparing the body; it’s about the conversations that linger in her mind, blurred lines between duty and personal reflection. The pacing allows for moments of stillness, which heightens the impact of each scene. Practical effects are used minimally but poignantly, adding to the somber reality of the narrative. Performances feel raw and authentic, particularly in the way they navigate complex themes of acceptance and familial love. It’s a strikingly unique take on loss.
