Wars

About This Movie

So, 'Wars' (2021) is this interesting drama that grapples with themes of identity and existential struggle. Emma, the protagonist, joins the army not just to connect with her father's legacy but to escape this suffocating emptiness that just hangs over her. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, which emphasizes her inner turmoil. The performances, particularly Emma's, are raw and heartfelt, giving a real sense of the weight of her decisions. There’s something really striking about how the film uses practical effects in its depiction of army life—feels gritty and real. It's not just about military discipline; it's a journey of self-discovery, and it takes you to some uncomfortable places. Definitely a unique entry in the genre.
