The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sit with Caroline's struggles. It starts with a sort of lightheartedness but then takes these deeper dives into trauma and self-discovery. The atmosphere is a blend of whimsy and raw emotion, which is a tricky balance to pull off but they manage it well. The performances feel genuine, especially from the lead; there's this rawness to her journey that resonates.
