Gilbert_BarrettSeptember 29, 2025The low ratings are surprising, especially since the film delivers haunting visuals and a compelling atmosphere. While it raises many themes without fully unpacking them, its portrayal of war’s fear and fragility is affecting, and the score adds a melancholic beauty to the experience.
