The film is a remarkable portrayal of the life of a budding filmmaker. Directed and written by Saara, who also stars as Saara, the film's protagonist. While the film has a playful tone, how it blends this with the themes presented makes me find this film having a deeply unique resonance with me. Which to me speaks to just how amazing Saara's talent as a filmmaker truly is.
The narrative takes viewers on an immersive journey through the trials and tribulations that filmmakers often face. In a playful humorous way, the film explores the struggles of securing funding, working with high profile actors, facing the questions from those around oneself and being constantly overlooked.
While overall playful and humorous in nature, the film does not shy away from the emotional challenges that many artists grapple with when feelings of uncertainty set in. It explores the inner conflicts and moments of self-reflection that one can endure where one starts to question their thoughts during uncertainty. This introspective aspect of the film provides a unique commentary on the nature of artistic creation and the emotions that can accompany it.
The themes the film presents are able to resonate highly with not just filmmakers and other artists but anyone else who has ever struggled in the pursuit of something seemingly farfetched, faced doubters/critics, or doubted their trajectory in the face of the non-black and white issues they face along the way.
In short, the authenticity of the journey of Saara in this film and the unique art-house style, makes this film a must-watch!
