Andra, portrayed with a quiet intensity, finds herself inundated with the woes of readers seeking advice, all while grappling with her own romantic troubles. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection to sink in, which complements the film's themes of vulnerability and self-discovery. You really get a sense of the societal pressures on women during that era, and the way it’s captured feels both specific and universal.
