So, 'Practice' is an interesting documentary that really dives into the daily routines of students close to the Shaolin temple. It’s not flashy, and that's kind of where its charm lies. The pacing is slow and deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and the dedication these students exhibit. You really feel the weight of their commitment as they engage in this quite simple, yet rigorous rehearsal process. The practical effects are minimal, but the rawness of the footage captures the essence of their training vividly. There’s a quiet intensity that resonates throughout the film, making you think about discipline and tradition without overtly spelling it out. It’s a slice of life that feels both serene and intense, a fascinating peek into a world few get to see.
