The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which adds to the tension as the family grapples with their fate. There’s this heartbreaking moment with the young girl and her dog that really hits home, highlighting the personal losses amidst these large-scale changes. The performances carry a raw authenticity, making you feel the weight of their choices. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects and the atmosphere they create really draw you in.
