It’s poignant and somewhat unsettling to see Nora's resilience against the expectations set by her doctors. The atmosphere is quite heavy, but there's this strange warmth that comes through in her stories. The pacing has a very organic flow, almost like you're having a conversation with her. The film’s practical effects are minimal, relying heavily on the authenticity of Nora’s world. Her performance is genuine; you really feel her spirit and struggle.
