Stella

About This Movie

So, Stella is a pretty intense ride, focusing on Eric, whose life crumbles after his daughter vanishes in that horrific accident. The film has this gritty, somber tone, really pulling you into Eric's turmoil. The pacing is deliberate, letting you feel each moment of despair and dread as he connects with David, this shadowy figure who brings unsettling truths to light. It explores themes of grief, trust, and the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of relationships. The performances are raw, particularly the lead, who conveys a haunting journey through loss. Not a lot of flashy effects here, but the atmosphere is thick, almost tangible, which makes it stand out.

Stella hasn’t received a ton of widespread attention, but it has its fair share of intrigue among collectors. The home media releases are somewhat limited, with various formats popping up infrequently, which adds to its allure. If you're into films that dig deep into psychological themes and character studies, this one has a niche following, but it’s not always easy to find, making it a curious piece for dedicated collectors.
