🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Ian Mune constructs a raw narrative on the clash between toxic masculinity and unspoken grief. He explores familial fracture, relying on the brutal poetry of street fights and the silent spaces between words to portray a tragedy that is domestic, not epic.
What lingers after the credits is the haunting question of whether cycles of violence can ever be broken, leaving a residue of grim authenticity. — MovieFinder Editorial
