The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sink into the characters’ struggles and desires. The performances are nuanced, showcasing a mix of joy and melancholy that resonates with the viewer. It's not about flashy effects; rather, it relies on the raw emotions of its cast and a subtle, almost hypnotic soundtrack that complements the visuals beautifully.
