Their performances are both nuanced and powerful, allowing listeners to connect deeply with Bailey's story. The pacing is just right—pausing at key moments for emotional impact while maintaining an overall momentum that keeps you engaged from start to finish. However, some scenes feel slightly underdeveloped, leaving a few loose ends that might frustrate those looking for more resolution. Nonetheless, Leaving remains a standout in its genre, with its rich character development and heartfelt exploration of faith and family.
