Well executed cleverness

This is a perfect example of what short films do well. The film throws you into the middle of a situation. Because it is only six minutes, it can't be bothered with more than a single main idea. However, it takes the idea and executes it well.

Would it work as a feature? Probably not. Does it push cinema forward? No. Will it change the world? No. Does any of that matter? No.

It's well worth the six minutes it takes to watch it. Decent acting, fantastic lighting, nice editing, and clever music. I would almost say it's all about the music, but that would diminish the other aspects that work. I look forward to future work from this director.
