The pacing feels quite organic, moving from lighter moments to more serious undertones as Lau navigates through his interactions, especially with the injured gun robber. The performances are quite genuine, lending a sense of authenticity—like you’re peeking into lives that often go unnoticed. It’s distinctive in how it tackles themes of compassion and the human condition through a lens that’s not overly polished, making it feel relatable and real.
