About
You may like this if you want an unvarnished, emotionally heavy social drama about family and the system, in the vein of I, Daniel Blake; Not for you if you need light escapism or clear-cut comfort.
Pros: raw, true-to-life drama; strong emotional pull; thoughtful social critique | Cons: relentlessly bleak tone; frustrating bureaucracy focus; hard to watch
