The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, mirroring Elly's internal struggle. The film's practical effects, though modest, effectively enhance the alternate realities without overshadowing the emotional core. Performances are solid, with Elly’s portrayal capturing the nuances of fear and overprotection. It's a somber reflection on love, loss, and the choices that lead us to dark places.
