There’s this palpable tension throughout; the pacing isn't rushed, almost contemplative at moments, allowing the weight of their choices to sink in. It feels very personal, like you’re peering into the lives of these individuals who are navigating fear and uncertainty. The practical effects, though minimal, lend authenticity to the reenactments.
