It's formally restrained when it could've been provocative—a sensitive topic handled with such care that it becomes almost invisible, which defeats the point of making other people *see* deafblind experience in the first place.
Rodríguez situates this cleanly in the essay-film tradition, letting abstraction and tender restraint do the work of representation; it's measured enough to respect its subject and rigorous enough to avoid the sentimentality trap.
Two minutes to convey tactile and relational barriers instead of just the visual ones—and the decision to withhold conventional narrative and let sound, texture, and bodily space carry the entire weight is what makes this crystallize.
