It’s not about the destination but the emotional landscapes the characters traverse. The pacing is a bit slow but deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects, while minimal, have a rawness that adds to its charm. Performances are heartfelt, with a certain vulnerability that feels genuine. There’s a persistent theme of seeking happiness amidst chaos that resonates deeply, making it distinctive in its own right, even with the director being a mystery.
