The performances, especially from the lead, are poignant, conveying a sense of despair and hope in equal measure. It’s distinctive in how it juxtaposes a journey of self-discovery against a backdrop of heartache and lost love. Those practical effects used to visualize her emotional state add an interesting layer to the film's overall narrative.
