There's a sort of ethereal quality to the atmosphere, aided by practical effects that enhance the dreamlike encounters she has with the medium and the boy resembling Renaud. It’s fascinating how the film explores the tension between reality and the spiritual realm, making you ponder the weight of loss. The performances, particularly from the lead, linger in your mind long after the credits roll.
