2/10
Slow, Unengaging, Pretentious, Incredibly Bizarre
1 May 2020
Pros: 1. Both the framing and the lighting are incredibly crisp and clean. 2. The sound design is top-notch and does its best to breathe life into the film.

Cons: 1. There is jarringly strange and out-of-place transition to found footage-type filming. 2. The pacing is needlessly slow-paced and long-winded. The movie would have worked much better as a short. 3. The film glosses over the initial molotov cocktail thrown which triggers Nona's escape to the coastal town. This inhibits the viewer's ability to form a connection to Nona. 4. Nona, as a character, is rather bland, uninteresting, and unlikable. 5. The plot is exceedingly nonsensical, unengaging, and thinks it's far cleverer than it actually is. 6. The conclusion, due to the previous negatives and lack of positives, falls extraordinarily flat.
