Incluvie Film Fest 3rd Place Winner: ‘Warmth’ Review
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.

Outskirts of Moscow. A girl comes to an unfamiliar apartment to look after a dog. After a while, she realizes that the owner of the apartment has disappeared. She finds herself into a series of people that have been taking care of the dog for years in that same apartment, creating a weird community around this strange absence of the owner.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
Suppressed intergenerational family trauma and healing, warm welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe team, and Awkwafina's humor really make this film the real MVP.
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
Amanda Riley gets the opportunity to travel to Vietnam for the experience of a lifetime.
Life may find a way, but is it worth testing its fierceness and how far it will go?
