Saw this in London with Mirrormask - was hoping for a muppets short or something, but...
Difficult to judge shorts, but having been a film student (waste but fun) I know how hard it is when you come up with a good idea to resist the urge to cram more stuff in.
Here is a simple yet utterly compelling fantasy - and if someone took the concept and turned it into a full length flick, it would probably fall flat on its face. The fact we don't the know why or how great the effect of this 'magic mile' is adds to the marvel - and the confussion and reaction of the two actors adds more to the mystery and warmth of the film. Bloody good effort.
