"Louder Than Bombs is a film by director Joachim Trier, who would later be known for The Worst Person in the World. With a cast including Isabelle Huppert, Gabrielle Byrne, Jesse Eisenberg, and Devin Druid, the story revolves around a family dealing with the death of the mother, a war photographer (Huppert), who died in a strange car accident, and in her honor, an exhibition will be held. However, the youngest son (Druid) doesn’t know the truth about the accident. In a sensitive and reflective way, the film addresses the impact of trauma on a person, but also the loss experienced by their loved ones, offering a realistic yet optimistic message about the power of love over darkness."
