About
You’ll likely connect with this if you want a quiet, emotionally heavy family drama that feels close to real life and takes its time, somewhat like In My Father's Den; Not for you if you need fast pacing or a shorter runtime.
Pros: deeply moving story; humane, realistic tone; memorable performances | Cons: very long runtime; slow, day-to-day pacing; uneven lead acting
