    So Very Beautiful

    This was such a beautifully made short with such a prolific end that made it that much more beautiful! Well made and well acted.... It very rare that a quick suspense filled shirt has an impact on the viewer that leaves you euphoric but this one does. If one listens to the dialogue and pays attention you start to pick up on many things... This was really enjoyable!!

    Teaser

    Didn't know this was a short, but pleasantly surprised that it had nr roped in and I wanted more! The cat statement had me thinking hard but in the end everything came together.

    Surprised

    I was pleasantly surprised. Very good. I highly recommend it for a quick fix. Kept me guessing till the end. So worth watching. Imdb require150 but I don't want to give to much away.

    Nice Suprise

    I thought the movie was going slow, too slow actually and I was screaming inside to get out before she gets killed. Then the movie ends because it's a short (I didn't realize it was one) and I was vested in her praying he doesn't do a murder suicide, then the end comes and I'm.... Just know after you see the end or figure it out, that the pacing was perfect and I wish I could have spent more time with the characters, have dinner or a drink...something, this deserves to be the ending of a movie that depicts life a year or so later after one crazy shift for the officer. I need the directors to do a Prequel, like, why nobody deserved this, none of them. His cat analogy had me in tears when...just take 14 minutes out of your life and watch, even if this isn't the type of pic that floats your boat, it would be 14 minutes invested well. I can't give you a 10 because you left me feeling unfulfilled, emotionally deprived. If you ever did a feature length prequel as good as this, then a 10 could very well be in order.

    A wonderful short movie

    A wonderful well-acted short film, only 15 minutes long. It starts with a guy alone in his apartment trying to make a nice gourmet dinner. There is a knock on the door and a young female police officer comes to investigate a disturbance from his place. The movie paces slowly like a mystery play, and the dialog initially seems a bit trivial. But the ending is a bitter/sweet surprise even if we sort of know where it is going. Recommend it for quick watch!
