The pacing has this contemplative rhythm, allowing moments of silence to linger, which can be quite powerful. The backdrop of the home for troubled youth is portrayed with a stark realism that feels authentic. There’s a palpable tension in Stephanie's attempts to reach Tamara, who embodies youthful rebellion and vulnerability in equal measure.
