About
You may like this if you want a grounded, uncomfortable coming-of-age drama about manipulation and vulnerability, with a slow-burn build; Not for you if you dislike bleak topics, uneasy scenes, or meandering pacing like in War Pony.
Pros: tense, unsettling story; strong lead performances; realistic slice-of-life feel | Cons: very slow pacing; thin character depth; ending feels unsatisfying
