Stairs (2019) offers a raw glimpse into the life of a young man trying to carve out his place in Ulaanbaatar. The film's tone is somber, with a slow burn that draws you into its world, creating an almost suffocating atmosphere. The pacing can feel deliberate, but it mirrors the protagonist's struggle against both internal and external barriers. It’s interesting how it highlights the social complexities and physical landscapes he faces, often using practical effects to ground the narrative. Performances are nuanced, with an authenticity that feels lived-in. It stands out not just for its story, but for how it captures the grit and resilience found in the pursuit of dreams amidst hardships. Definitely a unique viewing experience.
