This principle applies to many films but is especially present in Ezekiel Goodman and Hannah Zipperman’s Sylvia, and Samuel Edelsack’s You Still Can, both films that stray away from a more expansive and grand in scale style and instead turn towards a more intimate style that allows viewers to sit in its presence and characters through its usage of specific dialogue styles, color palettes, and music presence.
