Somebody Is Waiting

About This Movie

So, 'Somebody Is Waiting' from '96 dives into the heavy stuff with an alcoholic father grappling with his children's rebelliousness after their mother's tragic death. The atmosphere is pretty bleak, capturing the struggle of a family torn apart, which gives it a raw, unsettling tone. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of grief to linger. The performances stand out, particularly the father's portrayal of despair and desperation. It’s not flashy in its approach—no big budget effects here, just solid storytelling that leans heavily on character development. It's definitely one of those indie films that sticks with you, even if it doesn’t quite leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.
