Poignant piece expertly driven. The narration did feel a bit unnecessary but the final line payoff made it feel worth it - evoking a wave of emotion. Even though the film covers a lot of dialogue there is so much unsaid that the audience can read between the lines. Yes the colour grading is bleak, some might say ugly, but it sets the tone of this place feeling out of time and extremely isolated. Incredible performances all round. Seeing events unfold from a child’s perspective was powerful though under-utilised.
