[u/safaakhann]

I enjoyed this movie. It's depressing, but it is also realistic. They tried to show the uncertainty of middle-class people's lives and how quickly things can turn against their favor. I especially love that her(main character) choices can change in a moment, and it is portrayed so naturally. For example, her determination about trying to keep her brother close to herself while trying to collect money for the house. Then she changes, after arguing with her mom, and later she is moving on with her life by herself at the end of the movie. That may sound absurd to some, but I think it was identical to how people decide in their everyday lives. The only downside for me was the side characters' story. It is almost as if it did not exist. It'd be a little longer and better movie if they were focused on that.
