The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into the character's psyche, and the performances, particularly that of the lead, are hauntingly real. Practical effects, though minimal, enhance the gritty feel of the film without overshadowing the narrative. There’s something distinctive about how it approaches faith and despair, leaving a lingering impact that’s hard to shake off.
