Groundbreaking

For a debut short, they don't get much better than this. Original idea, well written, well acted, directed well and looked gorgeous shot on silky 16mm. Aswell as that the clothes and locations really summed up suburban america so well which really aided the storyline and made us really consider the idea of what goes on behind seemingly perfect closed doors...

I watched this after watching Midsommar and Hereditary and I now see the links in his work that has allowed him to go on from this to make even bigger and better films! Looking forward to the next feature from Aster!
