Azazel Jacobs captures the essence of a family grappling with loss and emotion through a powerful narrative centered on three sisters and their dying father.
By employing a theatrical directing style with long takes, Jacobs prioritizes the authenticity of his actors’ performances, allowing their emotional intensity to resonate throughout the film.
The setting of a Lower Manhattan three-bedroom apartment is intentionally intimate, creating a sense of lived-in familiarity that enhances the film’s exploration of complex family dynamics.
Jacobs' meticulous approach to scriptwriting, including a color-coded version to visualize cuts, reflects his desire to intertwine character revelations with the unfolding of the physical space.
