Raymond & Ray (2022)
7/10
An intimate story in search of catharsis.
22 October 2022
Interesting story that portrays the search of two adult brothers for their cathartic closure after the death of their abusive father. This film is a drama to know, recognize and appreciate both life and death and what it can leave us after the family relationships that we have forged in our past years.

The main performances are okay, a little stilted at times, but for the most part, decent. Great use of musical resource, taking advantage of the chaotic but calm jazz sonatas to frame a couple of deep relationships in search of healing. While the story closes on a good note, the movie feels a bit flatter and lighter than it could have been. It is a somewhat monotonous trip which could be a bit boring for those who do not connect with what is proposed.

Recommended to watch on a quiet night before bed.
