Tahara is a 'vibes' movie, but the vibes are mostly 'anxious, sweaty, and awkward.' It’s a brilliant piece of filmmaking if you’re into A24-style indie dramas that prioritize character psychology over a feel-good ending.
If you're looking for a lighthearted coming-of-age story, keep walking. This is a sharp, sometimes painful look at how a friendship can dissolve in real-time under the pressure of shared trauma and mismatched hormones. It's worth watching for the performances alone, but be prepared for the 'audience score' to make sense—it's a polarizing, uncomfortable experience.
