Level-headed storytelling

This poverty struggle drama avoids sinking into poor-sploitation thanks to some level-headed storytelling and its likeable Gen Z lead. If the plot points end up feeling overly familiar, this at least earns distinction with its noticeably affectionate eye on modern Mongolia (which looked stupendous on the big screen).
