I had to turn this off halfway through as I was fighting back tears. This is a gut-wrenching exploration of systemic failure, so intense it’s almost unbearable. The claustrophobic cinematography keeps you on edge, creating a suffocating sense of inevitability. While undeniably effective at eliciting emotion, the film occasionally leans into heavy-handedness, which somewhat undermines its subtlety. The word "relevant" feels too distant to fully capture the weight of the story. Still, the harrowing depiction of a bureaucratic nightmare is enough to leave you shaken—so much so, that you might find yourself unable to watch it all in one sitting.
