So, 'Until Things Get Better' really dives into the harsh realities faced by street children. The atmosphere is gritty, almost suffocating, as it captures life in a shanty district. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to really feel Nahid's struggle. And her transition from escaping her stepfather's horrors to becoming a dancer is both jarring and profound. The performances are raw, especially from the lead, who manages to convey a mix of vulnerability and resilience. It's distinct in how it doesn't shy away from the dark themes, yet it also hints at a flicker of hope amidst the despair. The practical effects are minimal, but they add to the authenticity of the setting and characters.
