Tether
In an era where headlines vanish faster than the lives they mark, TETHER refuses to look away. It takes a national nightmare—the kind that’s become tragically commonplace in America—and focuses not on the violence itself, but on what lingers in its wake. With a modest budget, a sharp emotional focus, and the quiet power of two characters, this film is less a portrait of trauma than a confrontation with its long tail. While the story itself and the honesty behind it are incredible, the execution occasionally struggles to match the same level of quality.
