In this short documentary, a family watches archival footage of their relatives from the past, yet the focus is not on what they see but how they react. The camera lingers on close-ups of their faces, capturing subtle emotions and expressions as they engage with their shared history.
By isolating the reactions from the footage itself, Family Review explores themes of memory, legacy, and the intimate dynamics of family observation. The work invites viewers to reflect on how we connect with the past through the lens of personal relationships and collective memory.
