This is an extraordinarily bold film. It is the least student film experience you'll ever have. Bewitching, arresting, spellbinding. A lens into the world of poverty, isolation and girlhood. Jessica Barden, gives an exquisite authentic performance particularly. Alana Boden is noteworthy and spellbinding, whose character is a mute. The film is entirely dialogue free. At times I'm watching neorealism at its finest and at others I'm lost to the directors poetic storytelling. It is hard knocks kitchen sink told in hyperreal tones. By far one of the best narrative shorts to have come out of the British film school.
