No woke garbage here, just good story telling in a well done budget film that, for me, is the visual representations of not the forces of good evil, though it is portrayed in the battles and struggles, but of the internal emotions battling for which will take hold of a father facing the worst kind of tragedy. The movie does jump from internal to external to help distinguish the emotional side while telling the story of how we arrived, but I believe it handles that quite well. The dichotomy of the girls’ father as a man in his own life battling his success and as the father he is to her battling parenthood and being what she needs, is contrasted beautifully. The film continues to portray the choice he must make, the forces battling for the outcome of the life they may have. In short this is the visual representation of fear and despair vs love and hope inside the soul of a father. Any parent should immediately identify with this, especially fathers stuck between providing and playing.
