It's a film that demonstrates how much devastation one abusive parent can inflict, while also offering a sense of optimism and healing through facing painful experiences; I’d give it a 7 out of 10. The two main performers deliver solid performances. It unfolds gradually, but the visuals are striking and the cinematography is lovely. The narrative centers on two siblings—a sister who returns after fifteen years to manage the family farm following their father's passing. This reunion brings back repressed memories. Every positive recollection they shared as children is tainted by their father’s failings. Despite possessing considerable resilience, neither sibling recognizes this strength, as trauma dominates everything. The idyllic setting of a rural farm is juxtaposed with an honest, somber, and confining depiction of daily life, where avarice poses a significant danger and allure. However, the sister remains resolute in her desire to mend what’s been broken and begin the process of recovery.
