🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a fragile bridge between a disintegrating mind and a son's desperate reality. It relies on a minimalist, almost documentary-like approach to explore not just the tragedy of illness, but the ghost of a second chance.

What lingers after the credits is a quiet, resonant tension built in the spaces between words. It’s a journey that trades spectacle for the profound weight of silence and unspoken history. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Mat Whitecross
