Yester-Year

About This Movie

Yester-Year has this raw, almost haunting quality that really sticks with you. The young woman at the center tries to untangle the mess of her life while her brother and his girlfriend are completely MIA emotionally, which creates this heavy atmosphere. The pacing has a slow burn feel, letting the tension build as she grapples with her past. I found the performances to be quite compelling, especially the lead's portrayal of vulnerability and strength. It's not your typical drama; it leans into the awkwardness of relationships and the weight of expectations. Practical effects add a subtle layer that complements the emotional depth, making it a unique viewing experience.

Yester-Year is a bit of a hidden gem in the collector's world. It seems to have been released on limited formats, with only a few editions circulating, which adds to its scarcity. There’s a niche interest in its exploration of heavy themes, so collectors looking for something that's not on everyone's radar might find this film intriguing. Its practical effects and emotive storytelling certainly make it distinctive enough to warrant a closer look.
