Vesna Goodbye

About This Movie

So, 'Vesna Goodbye' is this quiet drama that really leans into the emotional weight of loss. You’ve got ten-year-old Emi and her pregnant sister Vesna hitting the road along the coast, trying to piece things together after losing their mom. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost meditative, which might not be for everyone, but it really lets those heavy moments sink in. The performances feel raw and genuine, especially from the two leads, who carry the film's emotional core. There’s this palpable atmosphere of longing and unresolved feelings, and the coastal setting almost becomes a character in its own right. I found the practical effects minimal but effective, keeping it grounded in reality. It’s not flashy, but there's something distinctly affecting about the whole experience.
