🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its drama around the unbearable weight of loss and obsession, relying on a restrained, almost documentary-like approach. It explores how grief can corrode a person from within, turning love into a destructive force, anchored by powerful performances.
What lingers after the credits roll is a chilling silence and a profound question about the limits of parental guilt. This is a difficult, necessary journey into a psychological abyss. — MovieFinder Editorial
