The film offers a unique and atmospheric take on a dark historical subject but falls short of fully exploring the horrors it portrays.
While the first-person point-of-view and extreme close-ups showcase the filmmaker's artistic vision, they sometimes feel misplaced, detracting from the realism.
The use of old photographs and footage, though meaningful, could have been more impactful if reserved for the film's conclusion.
Despite its ineloquence and simplicity, the film delivers strong moments and an essential central theme. With good direction, acting, and cinematography, it stands as an interesting piece of social commentary, though its pacing and depth leave room for improvement.
A sad yet compelling watch that lingers despite its flaws.
7/10.

Wit is a deeply moving and unique film, offering a poignant glimpse into the experiences of cancer patients. Emma Thompson delivers an excellent performance as Vivian Bearing, showcasing a mind-blowing transition.
The film's cool, nonlinear narrative explores psychological and existential themes in a formal, medical setting. Mike Nichols's direction, along with the strong screenplay, production, acting, and technical aspects, contribute to its overall quality.
While the heavy emphasis on academic and literary elements might not appeal to everyone, Wit remains an intense, deep, and emotional film that leaves a lasting impact. I really liked it; it's dramatic without overstatement and deeply moving without sentimentality.
Family-friendly; just not a film for kids.

Focused on a duck family (mallards) and their journey to Jamaica with animal rights messages, so lively and fun. It wasn't deep or eloquent but light on the subject matters.
