The film addresses realistic issues such as overbearing parenting, teenage struggles with family expectations, performance anxiety, and navigating difficult emotions, culminating in the heartbreak of a breakup.
The initial hour masterfully captures the son's intense emotions, employing low-fi ambiance and emphasizing crucial scenes without heavy reliance on dialogue. This unique storytelling approach resonated with me, showcasing the film's ability to convey a strong message through various elements.
However, the latter part, focusing on the aftermath of the tragic event, loses some of the initial intensity and pathos. Despite its length, the film remains engaging due to strong performances, a compelling cast, a well-crafted plot, and genuine depictions of human emotions.
