I Just Wanted You to See is a gritty drama that digs deep into grief and vengeance. The film's tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really pulls you into the mother's despair. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of tension to build as she confronts these teenagers, who are as lost as she is. Performances are raw and unrefined, which adds to the unsettling atmosphere—especially the mother, who oscillates between rage and sorrow. What stands out are the practical effects in some of the more intense scenes; they ground the story in a reality that feels uncomfortable yet necessary. It's a tough watch, but it resonates in a way that lingers long after the credits roll.
