About This Movie

The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to fully absorb the atmosphere and the weight of her interactions with an older, more seasoned artist. Their dynamic is fascinating; you can really feel the push and pull of contrasting perspectives on art and life. The performances feel authentic, almost like a peek into real-life mentorship. It's all about the nuances, the little moments that build up to something larger. There’s a real sense of unease throughout, underscoring themes of control and vulnerability.
