The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to feel the weight of the farmer's struggle. It's not just about drought; it’s about attachment to the land and the fight for survival. The cinematography really stands out, using practical effects to evoke the stark beauty and despair of the terrain. The performances are raw and grounded, pulling you into the emotional core without resorting to melodrama.
