The pacing is reflective—allowing us to sit with their struggles and dreams, particularly as they await the arrival of their child. What stands out is its authenticity; there are no flashy effects, just real emotions and genuine performances that pull you in. It paints a portrait of survival amidst adversity, and the cinematography, while simple, beautifully conveys the starkness of their environment, adding layers to their story.
