The themes of family conflict and the struggle for identity are at the forefront, making it emotionally heavy. Though the director remains unknown, the performances are raw and resonant, capturing a sense of despair and longing. There’s a unique use of practical effects that grounds the story, making the tragic events hit even harder. It’s not flashy, but there's a distinct authenticity that lingers with you.
