Very well done. Started a bit slow, but really picked up at the end. I enjoyed the exploration of the sibling relationship - you don’t see that a lot. The characters were often frustrating, but I did understand where they were coming from, and that’s also not easy, to make a character unlikable and make decisions you fundamentally disagree with but fully understand how they came to those decisions.
