It’s not just about the comedy, though; there are deeper themes of isolation and belonging woven throughout. The performances feel genuine, especially from the lead, who captures the vulnerability and resilience of her character beautifully. It’s those little details, like the offbeat interactions and the relatable domestic chaos, that make this film distinctive in the indie landscape.
