Appropriate music and "Wonderful Dreamer" complement the sad content, beautifully presented.

Cinema Crazed

It's pitch perfect in its look at struggling to move on, and looking for some kind of light in the darkness.

I'll be completely honest I pressed play without reading anything about it it was recommended to me and I thought well this is the perfect time to watch it. oh man am I in tears. this is a short film with, depths that I could not imagine it would go to. it displays grieving, loss and the emotions that come with it. it explains and displays it so well, this is one of the first shorts to ever make me cry this much I'm going to be completely honest. when it first started playing I had a completely different idea on what it was about and, it is gut wrenchingly heartbreaking.

cried so hard my eyes are swollen and my face has splotchy red spots. mass shootings are such a despairful topic and reaches every caring soul out there. this short is so raw and impactful and terrifying and beautiful. but one main thing to stand by.. is to still stick together and love eachother through the pain.

It's a short film but it doesn't have much to say other than emotively manipulation using obvious clichés.

Beautiful art style, intelligent soundtracks choice and a real tearjerker. (I legitimately cried from the beginning until the very end, with some real big tears coming from my eyes. I was a legit mess for 12 minutes straight.) It truly deserves its Oscar nomination and it deserves all the attention and recognition it can possibly get. Everyone should see this at least once in their lives. Bravo to the talented directors and drawers who made this possible! And in the sea of Netflix forgettable flicks, it stands as the diamond of what a Netflix original could be.
