The CinePearl Take
Baumgartner’s direction keeps the story tight, using long shadows and muted city lights to amplify the film’s claustrophobic atmosphere. Wedler shines, portraying a determined runner whose vulnerability cuts through the film’s kinetic energy. The pacing never lags, and the thematic undercurrents of guilt and redemption linger long after the credits.
