Four adolescent girls each spend their youth in the same farmhouse over the last century. Though separated by decades, resonances between their lives emerge: their desires and distress, secrets and truths, encounters with another’s gaze and defiant gaze in return.

Unsentimental value. Ghostly and ghastly, yet riveting all the same.

one star for the cinematography and themes (that it didn't convey well) that's it that's all this movie gets

Very arthouse. I think you have to be German and a girl for it to truly click.

If you say a word too many times, it loses its meaning.
This is one of those films that, to me, despite being as long as it is, somehow feels kinda short. A lot of things happen. When I say a lot, I actually mean it. The story of generational trauma through the eyes of girls living at the same country house. Made me feel somehow seen. That feeling of impending doom, that shame that comes with this womanhood that runs into us as girls. The sense of death floating around like flies trying to get inside our open mouths. I love internal dialogue. I love monologues. I love streams of consciousness as mediums to communicate a story that’s probably too personal but needs to be shared. Everything is connected, and everything hurts to a certain extent. I enjoyed so many things that I cannot gather my words properly, or, well, as I’d like to.
The sound effects were amazing. At times, when this murmurs of rain appeared unexpectedly, I had to check outside my window if it was actually raining. Photography wise… masterpiece. I loved the color grading. The screenplay must be one of my favorite things about this film.
