The film captures the stark realities of female genital mutilation with a rawness that’s difficult to shake off. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the gravity of each moment, especially as it juxtaposes her past in Somalia with her activism in Ireland. There's an authenticity in the performances, especially from the lead, which brings a palpable emotional weight to the narrative. The atmosphere is often somber but punctuated with glimmers of hope.
