The Digital Fix

While the story being told isn't done effectively enough to leave a lasting mark post-credits, nonetheless, there's no denying it has a heartfelt earnestness that shines through.

Keeping the plates spinning without indulging in Loach-esque misery, [Omoshaybi] is definitely a talent to watch.
