About This Movie

Performances are genuinely heartfelt, with an undertone of absurdity that makes the characters relatable yet eccentric. The pacing meanders a bit, reflecting the stasis of the family's situation, but it all comes together in a way that feels refreshingly original, standing out in a sea of typical genre fare.
