About This Movie

The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a quiet conversation that you can’t help but lean into. Sofia, the younger sister, is a breath of fresh air, her hopeful energy contrasting with Shayla's heaviness. The performances are raw and genuine, capturing that complexity of sisterly bonds. The atmosphere is often somber but has these little glimmers of hope sprinkled in. There’s a certain honesty to the way it portrays the nuances of mental illness - definitely makes you reflect, you know?
