If you're into cold, lonely and especially strange atmospheres in your movies, this might be the thing for you.

Story: 5/10

I gave it a middle score because frankly, there isn't much of a story, it's telling you something, but it's so open to interpretation that it feels wrong to rate it too high or too low because I wouldn't know what to use as a standard.

Through the film you'll be traveling through the main characters instable mind and go through a bunch of strange scenes. If you're into abstract storytelling and such things left open for interpretation, you'll most likely enjoy this.

Art: 7/10

The animation does seems a bit wonky, for lack of better words, though it really works, that odd animation, along with the fact that the whole film is in black and white, creates a really cold and desolate atmosphere.

Sound: 6/10

You won't be hearing much music in this film, mostly what you'll hear during these 6 minutes is what seems to be machinery banging in the background, a faint static, and an occasional "hoh" from the main character. The sound really comes together well with the artwork, everything comes down to bring you that really cold and strange atmosphere.


Character: 5/10

Just like the story, I felt it would be unfair to rate this aspect too high or too low, because in a short 6 minute film it would be hard to create a fleshed out character or create any sort of development, and that isn't the goal of the film in the first place.

Enjoyment: 7/10

Personally speaking, I enjoy these kind of short films like this, it can be fun trying to find a meaning in the various strange scenes that show up. So as I said before, if you're into films filled with possible metaphors leaving you to interpret them as you see fit, then you'll most likely enjoy this short film.

Overall: 7/10
