The film captures the weight of societal pressures and personal struggles with a slow, deliberate pacing that really lets the characters breathe. Their bond, forged in adversity, unfolds beautifully against a backdrop of rising anti-Semitic sentiments. You can really feel the atmosphere here; it’s thick with dread but also some glimmers of hope. The performances are raw and compelling, especially from the leads, who evoke a genuine sense of loyalty and fear.
