It’s shot with a raw, almost documentary-like feel, which adds to the authenticity of the characters' experiences. Performances are quite compelling; you really feel the weight of Ruth's invisible pain. It’s distinctive in how it doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable aspects of healing, both physically and emotionally, making for a thoughtful exploration of resilience and vulnerability.
