The film's strengths and weaknesses

While showcasing Levy's directorial debut and strong performances by Negga and Patel, the film falls short in fully developing its characters beyond being reflections of Marc’s journey. The plot often wavers, relying on clichés and struggles to maintain a consistent emotional depth.
