About This Movie

The pacing feels erratic at times, reflecting the characters’ frantic attempts to hold onto their home. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a gritty realism that underlines their struggles. Performances are solid, particularly the chemistry between the two leads, which feels genuine amidst the absurdity.
