About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, human story about resilience after disaster and don’t mind a quiet, wandering structure; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear answers, like in Close-Up.
Pros: humane, hopeful tone; moving real-life encounters; thoughtful road journey | Cons: slow, reflective pace; minimal plot drive; emotionally heavy setting
