Hollywood analysis extracts:

¨This script is an emotional gut punch. The climax is a raw, cathartic unraveling. The final tableau of all ghosts unburied but unhealed is unforgettable. Few scripts demonstrate this degree of emotional depth .¨

¨The tonal control of this screenplay is extraordinary. It walks a tightrope between tenderness and terror, between meditative lyricism and brutal realism. The script understands the emotional and spiritual contradictions of its setting, and it never resorts to melodrama or moralizing.¨

¨A rare and powerful screenplay—sensitive, courageous, and quietly revelatory. It delivers the kind of intimate, slow-burn emotional drama that transcends borders and speaks to human decency in its rawest form.¨
