New Showbiz Analysis

Moonika Siimets uses a genre-bending triptych to explore the everyday concerns of apartment dwellers. The film's strength lies in its potential to disrupt conventional slice-of-life dramas through speculative and surreal elements like aliens and giant spiders. The narrative structure appears designed to critique modern urban life. By employing a non-linear approach, the film seems aimed at breaking down traditional social and domestic hierarchies. While the film shows promise in challenging norms, it lacks confirmed diverse casting. The current focus remains on European archetypes and a predominantly female cast within an Estonian production context.
