The warm father-daughter relationship and Anna Pnyovsky's natural interpretation of the little girl disguised as a man add a touch of warmth to the heavy and implicitly tense story, and also lead the film's story to the end of the fierce conflict. The sadness brought by the death of the mother to the father is not only the loss of his lover, but also the loss of his family. This faint sadness runs through the whole film, making the father's dedication and protection to his daughter even more touching and precious. Casey Affleck and DP Adam Acapo's use of lighting in the climax perfectly complements the intensity of the conflict and the daughter's threatening transition from innocence to maturity. The fights in the rain and snow also add a lot of tension to the film's action scenes. Daniel Hart's solemn chant-like soundtrack plays a great role in setting off the atmosphere of the story. As a drama film closely revolving around the two roles of father and daughter, it fully demonstrates the excellent acting skills of the two leading actors. Once again, Affleck has succeeded in portraying a mumbling, preoccupied, hyper-tense father figure, but his whole-hearted love and protection for his daughter is especially touching. And Pniowski's performance is even more surprising. She has a natural interpretation of her daughter's strong, observant and precocious heart

#9thBJIFF# It can be seen that Cassie’s debut work is trying hard to establish her own style, including the influence of David Lowery on it, but the story is still too meaty, rambling and not restrained enough, and the goodwill brought by the image level does not persist. For too long, the foundation of the text is not strong enough, and the overall look is still slightly verbose and redundant.

It's like Lowery... It's really very, very tender and affectionate. The rhythm in the second half is suddenly dragged down for some reason. Fortunately, the story of the baby's gender in the back and the great tenderness at the end pulled it back out of control. I think the best thing is the flashbacks of all the episodes, the emotion and rhythm are just right, praise. The better the child behaves, the better. PS This is not Case's feature film directorial debut, it's already the second one. I'm Still Here is also a feature film and went to Venice to win an award for Case =. =
