You’ve got this middle-aged taxi driver, Suzie, who’s grappling with her own demons, and then this sudden encounter with a young autistic boy that forces her to confront her past. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the character's loneliness and their shared struggle. The performances are grounded, especially from the lead, and you can really feel the weight of their experiences.
