Wait Until Spring

About This Movie

Wait Until Spring, the 2024 drama, dives deep into grief and denial. Saman, lost in her own world since her husband's suicide, clings to the illusion that he's still with her. There's this haunting atmosphere that permeates the film, almost suffocating at times, which really reflects her struggle. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with her emotional turmoil—it's not rushed. The performances are raw, especially Saman's portrayal of a mind grappling with loss. It’s a distinct take on how people cope, and the practical effects used to create her hallucinations are understated but effective. Overall, it’s a poignant exploration of the mind's way of protecting itself from unbearable pain.
