like very much! Ever since Beach Rat, I have liked the director's way of expressing emotions and creating an atmosphere. A very good film from a female perspective. The film is completely developed by the motives of the two female protagonists. At the same time, the whole film is also narrated from the perspective of women. The power of men in the film is weakened or even ignored and becomes the object of stares. Fathers, subway men, and conductors have all become symbols of a purely male world, symbolizing (escaped) authority, sexuality, or (difficult to break) rules. The appearance of the young man is clearly of traditional patriarchy, but Its gaze towards women is finally used and reversed by the other party. Another major feature of the film is its minimalist script, a very simple story, but the director tries his best to control the output of information, which is expressed in expressions, body, language, and restraint of camera emotions. Very few emotions are captured in close-ups. But it seems to contain a lot of suppressed emotions. This emotion was vented in the long shot of the question and answer later, which was very shocking. I personally think it exceeds the expressiveness of "The Thief Family". The portrayal is extremely restrained, but its emotional progression is still very clear. Everything, whether it is the expression of a female perspective, or the extremely restrained emotion, is in line with the portrayal of the characters, and it is perfectly integrated with this story about escape and growth, which is very powerful??
