So realistically heartwarming. You could feel the tension in every movement and every eye roll, and I love how that was built - there was not a second missed to show the dynamic between the father and son. The awkwardness between them remains throughout. The dialogues are, honestly, cleverly sparse - only that much was said that had to be said, but the message got across loud and clear. There was no big heart-to-heart at the end, but their relationship changes in so many little ways, which is exactly why the film feels so true.
