It's a slow burn, but in that pacing lies a certain beauty, allowing moments of reflection that resonate deeply. The film's practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, highlighting the rawness of Ray's experiences. It’s those intimate moments of self-discovery that set this film apart, inviting you to ponder what enlightenment truly means in a world filled with chaos.
