It has this experimental vibe that mixes newsreel footage with dramatic recreations, which is really interesting—like you're seeing history unfold but through a more artistic lens. The pacing varies; some parts feel slow, but it allows for deeper reflection on her achievements and the discussions around heroism, especially from a feminist perspective.
