Went Up the Hill

Went Up the Hill is a 2024 psychological drama film that explores grief and guilt through a haunting supernatural narrative. Dacre Montgomery stars as Jack, a man returning to New Zealand for his birth mother's funeral, where he meets Jill (Vicky Krieps) - her widow. When Jack's estranged mother returns in spirit form, inhabiting both their bodies, a life-threatening three-way nocturnal dance ensues. With strong performances and evocative cinematography, the film delves into the struggle to let go, though minor narrative inconsistencies weaken its impact.
