The acting, sound design, and cinematography are all amazing, the entire film is full of shots that are compositionally beautiful, and the performances are stunning. All of that is juxtaposed with the absolute horrors you're seeing and hearing, and the end result is just incredible. Was shaking for at least half an hour after, and still feel a bit raw from the intensity a day later.
