Liminal is a hazy recollection of a lost girl turning thirty, suspended in the in-between spaces. At its heart, it’s about female friendship: that singular bond that can anchor us through the chaos of identity, time, and transformation. Beneath the film’s dreamlike surface is a quieter question about what keeps us here, what reminds us to hold on.
