The pacing feels contemplative, allowing moments of stillness to breathe, which contrasts sharply with the adrenaline of her stunt work. The film's practical effects, particularly in driving sequences, add a raw authenticity, making her internal struggle all the more palpable. Performances are nuanced, especially in how Chrissi interacts with her father's lingering pain. It’s a layered exploration of the past and how it intertwines with the present, leaving a bittersweet aftertaste.
