Well, I think this is well made for what it is, but in this, the Year of Luigi 2026, you’ll have to forgive me for not quite connecting with a movie about a mentally ill woman where she’s essentially just not a character because the picture is instead entirely about the romance between her therapist and her brother.
She’s a problem for them to solve, and even in the flashbacks, she’s an also-there.
And that movie, what that movie sounds like, is then generally speaking far too light to survive the reveal of the violent acts that happened to this family.
It all really just collapses under that weight, just becomes sad, and it's not balanced enough to figure out how to make that meaningful instead of just fucking miserable.
