With Mom

About This Movie

With Mom (2013) dives into the emotional chaos of a family on the brink of collapse. Berina, portrayed with a rawness that feels almost too real, grapples with her burgeoning sexuality while the shadows of her mother Jasna's death loom large. The atmosphere carries a palpable tension, capturing the fragility of life and relationships. The pacing is somewhat languid, mirroring the disorientation of its characters, particularly the father, who’s lost in denial. The performances are nuanced, especially the interactions among the sisters, which feel authentic and unscripted. It's a film that doesn't shy away from the messiness of life and death, making it stand apart from more polished dramas.
