Heisserer's script is a masterclass in building tension through sensory restriction, forcing the audience to experience the world as the characters do. The non-linear structure, flashing between the past and the harrowing present, effectively reveals character and stakes, while the dialogue deftly balances maternal desperation with a child's naive hope.
