| Showings |
In the late 1990s, a family of six settles into their new home on Vancouver Island, as internal dynamics are slowly revealed through the experiences of the youngest child, Sasha. Their fresh start is interrupted by the increasingly dangerous behavior of Jeremy, the family’s oldest child.
Memory is slippery and trauma can create a false impression of what really happened. It’s a bold and moving message from a powerful film.
★★★★
Occasionally, a talent arrives fully formed, and the Canadian-Hungarian director Sophy Romvari is one such phenomenon. Already effortlessly fluent in the language of cinema, she is confident enough to have made a feature debut that is entirely her own.
★★★★
This staggering debut relitigates the past and the perspective one had while living it, performed with the regret and acceptance that sadly only comes with time.
★★★★★
“Blue Heron” may be the most emotionally devastating film of the year — and also perhaps the most comforting.
