Esme, My Love (2022)
Beautifully Made Film!
Beautifully photographed film! The scenes were begun and ended very well by visuals that immerse the viewer in the world of the film. Also, I liked the way the Cinematographer racked focus to obtain an artful, immersive effect and to move the story of the film.
Performances were very involving! The Actors created great tension between their characters when it was necessary to do so. Stacey Weckstein was alternately affectionate and threatening as the mother, and very convincing both ways! Audrey Grace Marshall was amazing! How do you get a very young actress like that to perform so convincingly?
The Writing was outstanding! This is the type of film that could easily have become monotonous, but the writer made the courageous choice to raise the stakes by something the mom does mid-way through the film. I won't spoil it.
The Director took the time, and made the careful choices, to create the world of the film. And the actors were obviously well-instructed. Good film!
