She’s both an observer and a participant in this grief-stricken narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence that feel heavy with emotion. The atmosphere? It’s raw and unsettling, and you can feel the weight of loss throughout. There’s no flashy editing, just a stark, almost clinical look at injustice.
