The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, drawing you into the characters' emotional journeys. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of authenticity that complements the raw performances. You can sense the quiet desperation in the actors' portrayals; it’s that kind of film that doesn’t rush to conclusions or neatly wrap up its narrative.
