The pacing is pretty methodical, almost like a slow burn, allowing you to really feel Trina's mounting anxiety. The performances are raw and relatable, especially the interplay between Trina and Lola, the fitness guru she idolizes. There's this sense of claustrophobia that ties everything together, emphasizing, in a way, how trapped we all might feel in our own lives. It's not flashy, but there's a certain authenticity that sticks with you.
