The film captures the vibrant essence of Lisbon, almost like a character in itself, with its sweeping streets and intimate cafes. There's this raw quality to the performances that feels genuine, almost like you're peeking into her world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, which gives you space to contemplate her journey. You can really sense the struggle of an artist trying to find her voice amidst the chaos of life. The practical effects used in some of the art sequences are quite striking too.
