The Postcard

About This Movie

The Postcard is a quiet exploration of family ties, wrapped in a somber atmosphere that's hard to shake off. The film starts with a postcard, which feels like this tangible link between a father and son, even in absence. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of loss to settle in with each scene. You can really feel the tension between the boy's denial and the mother's grief—it’s raw. The performances are heartfelt, grounding the story in real emotions rather than melodrama. What makes it distinctive is its use of the postcard as a narrative device; it’s not just a plot point but a symbol of connection and misunderstanding. Not flashy, but there's a sincerity that lingers after viewing.
