    + for style, - for substance
    One star for the set design, beautiful and perfect for this film. One star for styling, which was in keeping with the set and wonderfully quirky. One star for the beginning, as the film was quick to draw you in and inspire your interest.

    Unfortunately this is where I run out of stars. I think this film was about the connections between our relationships and our needs, and the importance of understanding one another. Maybe it was just about how some of us are not built or designed to do life like others around us, and if we want to stop screaming we need to stop trying to be square pegs in round holes. Or trying to make everyone the same shape.

    Maybe. The lighting went from bright to dark to reflect the characters' mood and changing circumstances and it felt a bit sixth form project. Nothing wrong with sixth form projects, but that sense of amateurishness was alienating and I was bored for the vast majority. It was too long for the pace of the story and dragged. There was a lot of potential here but perhaps it tried to be too clever and ended up not being great to watch.
