🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The direction is assured — the director controls pace and space with a sense of knowing why each scene belongs here.
Watches evenly. No lows, no revelations. But there's dignity in the craft — and it's present here.
A wide audience will appreciate it. Especially those who love the genre.

Viewing atmosphere: Evening with someone who likes to talk about cinema after. Good backdrop for a quiet evening.
