Something Necessary

About This Movie

Something Necessary is a quiet, contemplative film that delves into the aftermath of trauma and loss. The stark beauty of the Kenyan countryside stands in sharp contrast to Anne's internal struggles; it’s almost like the landscape mirrors her isolation. The pacing is slow, allowing viewers to really sit with the weight of her grief and the fragility of her son’s health. There's a raw honesty in the performances that feels incredibly intimate, especially in the moments where words are few but emotions run deep. The film captures the harsh realities of rebuilding life amidst chaos, focusing on deep themes of resilience and survival. Not flashy, but it lingers with you long after the credits roll.
