Shelly B @RT96283838 06/26/2024 I cried for days together after watching this movie. I have never bothered to write a film review, but I recommend this one to those who like slow drama about an unfulfilled relationship in a silvian setting.

The first scene that really hooked me was when the two protagonists, strangers at this point, stand far from each other at a table, completely silent, with the camera first on one, then the other, and all you see is their chests move as they breathe for long seconds, both obviously in a highly emotionally aroused state, but refusing to speak--a confrontation without acknowledgment, and so without resolution. That scene is a portent of the tone of the entire film. When characters do speak, nothing is wasted. If you are intrigued by the opening shots of this movie, don't worry, you will continue that way until the end. A beautifully shot, splendidly acted and directed film. It keeps you in suspense as to what is actually going on and what is going to happen, with some question as to what the younger character is capable of and why she's so upset, but the movie doesn't disappoint with its resolution.

Very sad. See more 05/11/2020 Annabel is silently confronted by a woman who stares at her for what feels like years. It's intense and awkward as if one was waiting to see what the other would do. Eventually, the woman leaves a note and walks off. When we see them again we find out it's Chiara her daughter she abandoned decades ago. The initial scene set the mood for the majority of the film…silent, uneasy, slow, and mysterious. Annabel reluctantly agrees to stay with Chiara for 10 days in a remote house in the middle of nowhere. It's beautiful, secretive, serene, and lush. The uneasiness between mother and daughter who hardly know each other is difficult to watch. Chiara seems bizarre and manipulative. While Annabelle seems cold and distant. The film is about connection, life, love, happiness, suffering, and expectations. It is subtle storytelling that speaks the most when everyone is silent. Non-verbal communication is the most powerful communication because our brain picks up on it subconsciously. Within the first 30 minutes, I had an idea about Chiara's motives simple by the way she reacted. I am impressed with Ramón Salazar because that takes attention to detail to create. In all, Sunday's Illness is best to watch when you are unwinding and want to see a thought-provoking and slow drama. People who are observant will appreciate this film. Those who think Games of Thrones is too slow should pass. See more Read all reviews
