The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, drawing you in before hitting you with unexpected emotional beats. It's fascinating how the film plays with the juxtaposition of its themes—life's absurdities and the struggles of human connection. The performances have a certain authenticity, capturing the essence of Bukowski's characters without overdoing it.
