"We make our own choices, we pay our own prices."
I’m in awe of this movie's camera work. Whenever it aims to create a thrilling moment, the director expertly handles the camera movement, which adds a deep layer of excitement.

The film is at its best when it showcases haunting footage and photographs between the scenes, which truly gave me chills.
