There is, as another poster has pointed out, a very slick, glossy, professional feel to this film as if no expense was spared on obtaining top quality actors and technicians. It's the third film by Daniel Cormack that I've seen and the promise shown by the first two is maintained if not surpassed here. It can only be a matter of time before Cormack is given a budget for a full-length feature and if he continues to display the 'old' values it will be a feature worth seeing. He has mastered the art of compressing plot into one reel albeit a tad enigmatically with the enforced ambiguity being used as a weapon rather than a restraint. The idea of a sterile relationship requiring outside stimuli is not exactly new or riveting but, as I never tire of saying, it's all in the wrist.
