The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into her emotional landscape. What stands out are the practical effects that give an almost tactile quality to the animation, making moments feel raw and genuine. It's not just a tale of innocence lost; it delves deep into the complexities of memory and healing, showcasing a depth often overlooked in animated films.
