I loved the 2 ML's big-brother, little-brother dynamic, but because of the limited runtime, the relationship and character growth felt rushed and unrealistic. And after such a jarring climax, to not let the two meet face to face on screen again was a big let down for me.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie when the two ML's were on screen together, but the rest involved a lot of skipping. This needed to be drama length to truly explore the characters and let them realize the growth they needed.

Content warning: Hinted animal abuse, moderate child abuse, and strong violence and language. Fully deserves its 18+ rating, and would be rated R in America.
