What the critics say
Critics praise Thaen's committed lead performances and striking Kurinji hills cinematography as an emotionally hard-hitting drama, but several say it tips into heavy-handed melodrama and loses nuance along the way.

Derived by Filmi
32
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 3 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
