How it scared people
The vibe
Sally Hawkins, of all people, plays the foster mother, and the warmth she's spent a career building becomes the weapon. Sora Wong, vision-impaired and with no acting experience before a Facebook casting call, is the other half of it. The Philippous shoot grief as something that eats — one scene with a kitchen knife will empty a room.
