The film takes its time, letting moments breathe, which might frustrate some but allows for deeper character exploration. The performances are quite compelling, with a naturalism that feels authentic to their everyday challenges. There’s a palpable sense of place, as the city becomes almost a character in its own right, with its harsh realities and fleeting joys.
