The film dives deep into the mind of its protagonist, a darkly intelligent girl who's wrestling with her past while navigating the often suffocating expectations of her surroundings. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to really soak in the atmosphere of the suburban setting, which feels almost like a character itself. Performances are raw and layered, capturing that tumultuous age with an authenticity that can be hard to find. It relies on practical effects here and there, but it’s more about the emotional resonance than flashy visuals. There’s a palpable tension throughout that keeps you engaged, making you reflect on the scars of growing up.
