    it bored me but well-acted

    Honestly, it was pretty boring. I do admire the attempt to tell a story without words and with a short runtime, but I felt like I was waiting for them to get to the point the entire time, while they slowly trudged through snow. I think I would have preferred this one as a poem. The acting was good though, and the setting perfectly chosen. It did a lot of the leg work. Maybe part of my disappointment is because I went out of my way to try and find this to watch it, because I was curious about why Cillian Murphy starred in this, what part of it attracted him to it. And it was pretty hard to find. I can't say I discovered what attracted Cillian to this project.
