The costume and production design carry a lived-in authenticity that the panel felt throughout, honouring the culture of the location with genuine care. Assured direction draws out performances they found wholly believable, and that same level of craft holds across every department. It struck them as an impactful piece of storytelling with a message worth putting in front of an audience.
