Viewing Notes

Glad I was able to catch this at Sie and glad I didn’t see it at Fantastic Fest, which I don’t think would have been the right setting to see this film in, given it’s slow moving nature.

I liked it quite a bit but I think it was a little slow for the kids. Maybe I just identify with the cultural alienation and isolation aspects better.
