The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the dreamlike sequences that punctuate her memories without overwhelming the narrative. Performances are raw and genuine, capturing the essence of nostalgia and loss. What really stands out is its ability to convey heavy themes of isolation and connection without grand gestures. It’s the quieter moments that linger, leaving an impression that’s hard to shake off. There's a certain beauty in its simplicity and the way it tells a story of yearning without much fuss.
