I thought it was exemplary for having a very clear central character. Her problems were relatable, understandable and clearly depicted from the very first scene. On the surface was a simplicity to the presentation of her character and underneath layers of complexity. Too often I’ve encountered a lack of clarity when it comes to creating a character and a clear, satisfying, character arc.
