The pacing ebbs and flows, mirroring the unpredictability of daydreams, and the performances are raw, lending a sense of authenticity to Eva’s journey. It’s distinctive in how it explores the heaviness of existence through a surreal lens, making it a contemplative watch for those who appreciate deeper narratives.
