Mia Barrett's performance as River is the main draw here, a quiet powerhouse that's pretty much universally praised. The story itself, a grief-stricken teen connecting with an outcast, gets more of a split response, with some finding it too thin or familiar to fully connect. But the film's strength lies in its mood and look, with the visuals widely noted as beautiful and immersive, even if the pacing drags for a few viewers. It's a somber, well-acted character piece that resonates when it sticks to its emotional core.
