I have seen and reviewed every episode of this series so far and quite frankly I am running out of superlatives to use.
This third episode takes even a sharper turn to the dark side than episode two. The mysterious and troubled "Jacqueline" appears to be disintegrating before our very eyes; terrifyingly considering suicide and threatening others with violence. Her mental troubles leaves the viewer as unable to tell fantasy from reality as she is as she suffers crippling hallucinations and her incipient paranoia takes control. Or are the hallucinations real and her lucid moments hallucinations? Is it all a fantasy of her's, someone else in the film, or does it all take place in the someone else's mind. The brilliant writing and directing neither answers these and other questions nor (most importantly)allows you to ignore them. Seriously when was the last time you saw a film, read a book, or listened to a piece of music that actually forced you to think?
Lastly this episode concludes with what appears to be a pat happy ending. But I'm not buying it. There are just too many miles to go and too many questions to answer to believe this is it.
De riguer for Little Lost Productions, the technical aspects of the film are brilliant for such a tiny budget and I have to especially mention the camera angles; I've been going to the movies for a long time and some of camera angles actually caught me by surprise without being forced or off-putting.
A great, great piece of work!
