The pacing varies, some segments are quick and punchy while others linger in a contemplative way. The performances are raw, capturing that youthful energy. There’s a nice blend of practical effects that feel grounded, and the overall atmosphere is quite immersive. Just a quirky mix of ideas, you know?
