Limbo

LIMBO centers around refugees and the tragedy of their circumstances but in this well-framed, cinematic quality. It’s a deadpan comedic tale encompassed in scenic landscapes with all the dark, grey grit that often comes with films of complex themes, like migration; it’s not shrugged off or discounted.  LIMBO has been in my watchlist ever since it’s release and I regret not having caught it sooner. There were two scenes in particular that I think really deserve props and should be studied in film schools — discovering Abedi and THE Nabil scene that implies Omar was too late (because of the appearance of the Northern Lights).  I was so surprised to see the Sikh shopkeeper and was so taken by his gesture of kindness. Did not expect that at all. Maybe I have a bias.
