VIBE
This film feels like a gruff exterior slowly cracking open to reveal unexpected tenderness and a fierce sense of justice. It's a poignant exploration of aging, prejudice, and the quiet power of connection, wrapped in a melancholic, yet ultimately redemptive, embrace. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken history and the weight of a changing world.
