If I was to compare this film to another, this will sadly give the game away.
So all I'll say is that it felt less unsettling and not as allegoric as the unsaid comparison.
What I got in the end was an interesting metaphor for breaking away from your family or your religion.
While it isn't as impactful as the material and themes suggest it to be, it is still a solid piece of work.
Wendy Chinchilla Araya gives a strong performance as the lead. That mysterious presence she constantly gives off as well as her natural chemistry with nature made her a very engaging character to watch and easy to root for.
The camerawork is solid and executed the chaotic scenes well with very intimate zooms. This was particularly well utilised in the final act.
So as mentioned, it's not as strong as it could have been. But it's message it's putting across is well communicated and certain demographics will enjoy it.
