Until I lie still

About This Movie

So, 'Until I Lie Still' is this intriguing piece set in a rural summer backdrop, where Yasmin seems to be in this blissful little bubble with her boyfriend and his kids. But, there’s a slow build of tension that creeps in, almost like the heat of the summer day, you know? It’s all very atmospheric and makes you feel the weight of unspoken words and underlying conflicts. The pacing feels deliberate, but it works well to draw you in, making the eventual reveal all the more impactful. I found the performances to be quite layered—there’s a subtlety that really pulls you into the characters' emotional struggles, especially when it juxtaposes that idyllic setting. It’s not flashy, but it has a profound quietness that lingers.
