The film captures a tangible sense of melancholy, amplified by the often desolate landscapes and subdued performances. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection to linger, which enhances the emotional weight. There's a rawness to the themes of depression and failed aspirations that resonates; it’s neither glamorized nor simplified. The mother-daughter dynamic is complex and tumultuous, making their shared struggles all the more palpable. The practical effects are subtle, focusing on the internal rather than external. It’s not your typical drama; it’s more of an atmospheric piece that lingers with you after it’s over.
