The CinePearl Take
Jung’s direction keeps the narrative tight, allowing the protagonist’s awkward first‑time dad moments to shine without slipping into sentimentality. The standout performance comes from the lead—an unassuming actor who captures the bewilderment and tenderness of a man learning to be present. The pacing balances quiet, introspective scenes with bursts of witty dialogue, underscoring the film’s central theme: redefining strength through vulnerability.
