It really captures the emotional strain and the glaring lack of mental health resources, which is a theme that resonates throughout. The pacing feels raw, almost like you're riding along in the ambulance with them, experiencing both the rush and the despair. It’s not flashy, but it’s got a certain authenticity that makes it stand out. Practical effects are non-existent here, but the real-life stories are powerful enough to leave a mark.
