You may like this if you’re drawn to tough, emotional coming-of-age dramas about family hardship and resilience; Not for you if you want light escapism, a fast pace, or an uplifting tone like Muriel's Wedding.

Pros: powerful performances; moving true-story feel; moments of dark humor | Cons: bleak and heavy; slow episodic pacing; ending feels rushed
