Viewing Notes
Ever since watching the short on Mubi I’ve been looking forward to seeing the full-length film and wasn’t disappointed. Tense throughout because you just don’t know what’s going to trigger something bad happening; what will be the step too far. It’s a complex rendering of realistic characters with no easy answers that lets everything play out in front of the audience without nudging them towards any one specific point of view.
