Editing felt a bit loose in the middle third, otherwise pretty tight.

Solid, if a bit safe in the places it could have pushed.

The second half is where this really finds its feet.

Solid OTT watch — exactly the kind of film that works better at home than it might have in a theatre. Nothing here demands the big screen, but nothing here disappoints either. The central performance carries scenes that would otherwise feel fairly routine. Dialogue writing has some genuinely sharp moments scattered through otherwise functional scenes. Background score occasionally oversells emotional beats that didn't need the extra push. A comfortable, well-made film without much ambition beyond being comfortable and well-made. Not a must-watch but a perfectly pleasant way to spend an evening.

Overrated by a notch, but genuinely well made.

Sharp writing, and it trusts the audience to keep up.
