The score has a whimsical, almost pastoral quality to it, which complements the rural setting. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the audience to soak in the ambiance and the music itself, which is rather captivating. The performances have this genuine, almost raw energy, especially from the leads, who bring the characters to life with a charm that feels very organic.
