Extraordinary film

Deren has brilliantly achieved a thoughtful and emotionally riveting work. The story develops quietly yet powerfully and draws the viewer in entirely. The actors are extremely talented and that talent is expertly showcased by Deren's insightful screenplay and direction. Though dark and challenging, the piece ends with a sliver of hope. Deren will undoubtedly soar in her future endeavors as a writer and director.
