Cuddle is a psychological drama that breaks down the idea of a perfect home. Instead of idealized stories, it focuses on the breakdown of traditional family structures and the impact of memories. The film successfully presents a strong female lead who drives her own story. She avoids passive stereotypes and instead focuses on her internal journey.
