Weathering (2023)

No pun intended – I found this short on Netflix and was intrigued by the poster. I assume the same is true for you, if you are here reading my review. Trying to figure out if this is something worth your time. If you like dramas with quite a few twists, then the answer is a resounding yes.

Acting wise this is really good – editing wise and the effects are also quite good. The story tries to pack a lot of things – issues women have or have to deal with. This is not easy to watch under that respect. But what doesn’t kill you … makes you stronger, right? But what if you are your own enemy too? Well there is a lot to unpack – for a short movie this is really filled with metaphors and great images. I am surprised it was rated this low to be honest. But I assume people were not ready or didn’t like the themes … or maybe they thought it has too many things packed in. Still if you suspend your disbelief and put yourself in her shoes … well hopefully you’ll understand.
