About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into reflective, nature-soaked coming-of-age dramas about grief and growing up, with lots of silence and mood; Not for you if you need clear answers, fast pacing, or constant dialogue like in Mean Dreams.
Pros: moody, atmospheric tone; strong coming-of-age pull; striking nature visuals | Cons: slow, quiet pacing; thin dialogue; feels overlong
