3/5

This is a film of subtle beauty and tragic isolation - moving, well crafted and undeniably challenging.

2.5/5

Uneven, frustrating and occasionally brilliant, but unsatisfying overall.

What should have been a 15mins short film here stretches into 2 hours - had it been 15mins, it would probably get 2.5 stars for wasting less of its audience's time. Narratively frustrating with too many randomly quirky characterisation and plotting that comes across more indulgent and meaningless (as opposed to artistic or allergorical). A slow piece of ponderous nonsense.
