A friend of mine scored this film. It was hometown so as a reviewer its hard to be hard on it. But it really wasn't all that great. Part of it I am sure lies in the fact that none of these people had ever made a movie before. It really shows. There are a lot of deep close ups and a bit too much blinking by Beth. Blinking in extreme close up is a no-no as it distracts the viewer.
There is a lot to admire. It took stylistic chances, opting for little or no dialogue. Sometimes this emotive storytelling backfires as the facial expressions used by the actors seem to come out of melodrama they are so over the top. It observes the short story form and never tries to tell us too much, certainly welcome.
Bad or good, or just mediocre the film was a good effort by a small town troop of artists. It tried very hard to please.
