You really get a sense of the struggles faced by those in tough situations, especially through her relationship with her best friend, who's battling her own demons. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as the plan to rob a bank unfolds. There’s something raw and authentic about the performances; they carry a certain weight that resonates.
