Sorority

It's an easy watch if you need something to match a melancholic mood without too much demand on your attention. Some interesting themes and performances but it's very predictable and feels like it has been done before. Still, it invites you to revisit your early twenties when everything is possible and everything feels dramatic. The film does well in giving a lot of context with limited I formation through inference which is also a strength. Some aspects are idealised, everything seems easy and all the characters are accountable and honest which again doesn't match the challenging storyline it's aspiring to convey. Worth a watch? The jury is out for me.

Having been aware of the writer director, James Webber, for some years now and after seeing his absolutely brilliant shorts 'Driftwood' and 'Soror' (the latter connected to this title), I was excited to see his debut feature. And this film didn't disappoint. Sorority is a beautiful drama which focuses on real world relationships and issues. The writing and the direction feels effortlessly smooth. The cinematography and the score also deserve a mention.

I strongly recommend to watch this fantastic feature film. This made me feel connected in many ways about how we do not choose our family members. Some circumstances, we need to learn how to deal with them to develop inner peace. This film made me feel to be of it. I felt love with each character. Love direction, cast, and story. This is a family film with a beautiful message. We need more films like this one. Love it.
