On a technical level, the film’s understated style works perfectly with its concept. Linklater’s direction is patient, allowing scenes to breathe and allowing the actors to truly inhabit their roles. The cinematography, by Lee Daniel, feels unobtrusive but effective—often framed in long, wide shots that focus on natural moments rather than flashy visuals. It’s a subtle, almost documentary-like style that helps immerse the audience in the characters’ lives.
The score, by the late Graham Reynolds, also deserves a mention—simple and reflective, it complements the film's tone without overwhelming it.
