Comfort and Unease
This movie struck a delicate balance between warmth and unease, offering moments of soothing comfort alongside scenes that crept under my skin in a way that felt all too real. At times, it delved into my reflections on reality, making me pause and think about the world in a way that was familiar to me. The awkwardness it embraced felt intentional and oddly comforting, like a shared human experience. A solid 7/10—it’s flawed, but it stayed with me, leaving me with plenty to sit with and process.I’m not sure if I’d recommend this or watch it again, but it’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after it’s over. It’s not necessarily an easy watch, but it’s undeniably memorable—something about it just sticks with you, whether you want it to or not.

A not so deep story that didn't need a 2 hour run
It was a good indie like movie with a not so clear message, many awkward silences and shots that really didn't make that much of a difference, characters that you wonder what is their purpose, and a meh good ending.Story:
Sadly there isn't really anything to the story when it seems there is. Many things unfold and make you think oh here it comes, but nothing really comes. Sometimes change comes in an extremely subtle way that really doesn't fit a 2hours run of many empty shots!
It is more of a kill time in the summer movie than any message it allegedly tell.
Characters:
There isn't really that huge character development because our MC was set to work from the start and that's what she does. Aside from that there is a tiny development for MC and one of her relatives but it felt so insignificant because of many factors I won't spoil.
Production:
Screams indie in a not so bad way. Like the shots sometimes felt amateur and empty, and others it felt so artistic in a show don't tell way. It is obvious that the budget was somewhat tight but it was not an issue at all.
Acting:
Some characters really didn't even hit the bare minimum, while our MC did a really good job and some of the supports did well too. However, nothing too fancy was the outcome but it did fit the atmosphere.
Enjoyment:
I did enjoy watching the MC daily life, it is precisely why I gave it a high rating because it kept me there for 2 hours. However, it did feel like watching an empty shell afterwards. I got nothing out of the watch, I was left with nothing, and nothing really happened.
