The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as we witness Alma's internal conflict. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, who embodies a quiet strength and vulnerability. The film doesn’t shy away from the messy reality of recovery and faith, making it a unique entry in the drama genre.
