About

If you enjoy quiet, character-focused dramas with off-the-grid living and lots of unanswered questions, you may like this; Not for you if you want fast momentum, clearer backstory, or something like A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Pros: slow, observant mood; strong father-daughter bond; naturalistic performances | Cons: pacing feels slow; minimal explanations; hard to understand
