The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each moment to linger, particularly when Wade reappears, manipulating Joan’s vulnerabilities for the amusement of his friends. The film captures the rawness of betrayal and the struggle for dignity in a social setting, with performances that feel genuine, though perhaps a bit rough around the edges. The atmosphere is heavy, marked by moments of discomfort that resonate with anyone who’s faced similar trials at that age.
