The dialogue is sharp and at times, unexpectedly funny, which keeps it from becoming overwhelmingly somber. The performances are genuine, capturing the raw emotions involved. It’s a snapshot of a time and a lifestyle, offering a candid look at the realities faced by many, without shying away from the truth. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain depth that stays with you, perhaps because of its honesty.
