Nothing is excessively smoothed-over, and rather than force comparisons or contrasts between aspects that don’t have a lot in common, "Transition" has enough assurance to step back and let picture and sound take over.

Although this is a personal narrative, when framed within a global seismic historical event — the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban — it inadvertently becomes smaller. As a story of one man’s navigation of his identity, however, it's a strong narrative.

It's a lot of work from the recording and music team. The film can be seen. Because it has a great sound.
