There's a haunting atmosphere, amplified by the practical effects that evoke the harsh realities of their journey. Pacing feels deliberate, often mirroring the siblings' emotional states, which makes the viewer really sit with their struggle. Performances are raw, particularly in how subtle yet profound their connection is.
