Movie review: My Ancestral Doll
My Ancestral Doll is a film from 2026.
Story
A private webcam video - never intended to be shared - turned into an emotionally raw video installation. This short film is intentionally unedited, to show the full preparation ritual: the slow and perhaps even banal act of combing the doll’s hair. In this piece, filmmaker Janne Elens works within the lineage of Chantal Akerman, highlighting women’s/AFAB bodies’ under appreciated, yet vital, labour.
Audience reaction
TMDB records an audience rating of 0.0/10.
