My review · Reviewed 02/19/2023
This is a quiet film about (mostly) quiet people. The film does a fantastic job demonstrating how delicate it can be to be a child, and also how the same can be said of the process of raising a child. The film is extremely so and thus I can't imagine that it is going to be for everyone. I think the film did a fantastic job of leaving out details that didn't matter and only revealing (eventually) what was important to the story. The ending was a bit unexpected and extremely powerful.
