Audience Member At Land plays like a dream, where distractions become new tangents and goals become lost in a myriad of images. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Waves in reverse look cool. Props as an fairly early "avant-garde" or "experimental" film. Playing with the tools is a good thing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Deren seems to be intrigued by the metaphysical possibility of self-contemplation from a third-person perspective. There are certain burdens not to be carried; these reckless trains of thoughts shall never substitute the fundamental missing piece. But once that piece is recovered, then what? Uncertainty among vastness once again? 94/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe my favorite of hers. Great use of false continuity. It has an excellent flow to it, and the visuals are excellent. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite short film. Really shows how you can use editing to create an interesting world with no budget. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Deren gives us a series of constantly fluctuating spaces in which the identity of the protagonist is the only constant, but even that is compromised when it's revealed that we may not have even been following one individual the whole time. Brilliant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
