Shuvit offers this raw look into the disconnect between a father and son, wrapped in the grit of their shared skate culture. The tone feels heavy, like a lingering sadness just beneath the surface, which contrasts sharply with the adrenaline of the skateboarding sequences. The pacing’s deliberate, allowing space for those unspoken emotions to linger in the air. Both leads deliver performances that feel real, almost uncomfortably so; you can sense their struggle to connect. It's interesting how the film uses skateboarding not just as a hobby but as a metaphor for their attempts to bond. There's a distinct sense of intimacy, but also this awareness of how trauma can keep people at arm’s length. The practical effects during the skating scenes are grounded, which lends a certain authenticity.
