Balkan Castevet

Metaphorical horror on the mourning process, Anna loses her best friend Izzy and Anna's will progressively begin to withdraw into herself where her body and her attitude will begin to change, resembling those of a cat. Film d debut for Mary Dauterman who manages to instil a sense of closure in the protagonist. The scene where through camera movements we move away from Anna framed through the door lock or even the scenes where the protagonist enters dark rooms makes us understand her state, her closure in herself and this journey towards darkness. The feeling of loneliness is strongly present when, for example, Anna is framed in her room and in general when she pushes everyone away. This is because the film represents how mourning, a difficult moment, is clearly difficult to manage but also like all the characters around, despite wanting to help, they expect something specific while perhaps there is no pre-established way to process and overcome this moment and difficulty. So Anna who argues with the boy Max, is absent from work, is unable to have real conservation with her mother by Izzy, Joyce. Even if the intentions are sincere like those of Max and Joyce, the characters would like to involve her, they expect her to speak at the funeral, Max, to lighten things up, wants her to sing Izzy's favorite song, he wants to share moments but Anna is absent, demonstrating how her mourning process is different from what others expect, she has difficulties, she is withdrawing into herself and has to overcome the moment. Therefore the nightmares, the dream moments, Anna's body takes on some features and acts like a cat, this is because Booger, the cat she practically shared with Izzy, of whom Anna is very fond, represents the past.

DirectionScreenplayScenographySpecial effectsActing

There are no aspects of comedy, fantasy, or horror in this film. Unfortunately, it seems like the movie was made by an amateur. There is no true plot, no clear direction, and no satisfying conclusion—the description is deceptive. With that being said, this film clearly does not deserve high ratings. Nothing personal, just stating facts. Read all
