Lake Mungo

This movie explores and portrays the horrific side of depression, loss, confusion and desperation. Following a family trying to understand their daughter while piecing their life together after just loosing her. [spoiler] the way in which I read this movie is that Alice killed herself, after hiding her depression from the ones closest to her, and in the end even hiding it from the world (at lake mungo). The movie follows her family in their attempt to understand why she died, slowly piecing together the remenants of the life she kept secret from them. All the while still seeing her in the house, pushing them to look Draper. When they eventually find the last piece of evidence (the phone) which contains Alices interaction with her deepest fear and want which is to end her life. Her family are able to let go and Alice with them. The performances and b-roll where increadible. [/spoiler] the whole movie felt very real. An amazing depiction of how ghosts are a manifestation of people’s pain. 10/10
