The pacing is deliberate, allowing those awkward moments to linger, making you feel the weight of what’s left unsaid. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing the essence of familial tension beautifully. The atmosphere is intimate, almost claustrophobic at times, which adds to its charm. You can’t help but feel for Martin; it’s a slice of reality that many can relate to. It’s not flashy, but there’s depth here that sticks with you.
