I didn't pay attention the any reviews prior to seeing the film. All I knew was that Natalie Portman was in it, and that this was the film for which she cut her hair. I completely forgot that this was a Wachowski Brothers production, so that had no bearing on my enjoyment one way or the other, and I had no IDEA who was playing "V" until the final credits rolled. So all I did was watch as the story unfolded before my eyes. Wow. I loved it! Considering who the key players are, it's silly to comment on how good the acting is. A key to knowing how good the acting is is when you don't think about how good the acting is. You just see the story and watch the people in the film and become involved with them. When you Care for what happens to them, then you know you are seeing quality acting. I cared. Especially for "V". If you are like me, and enjoy watching a great story unfold before your eyes, go see this film. One word of caution, the action/violence is intense in several scenes and is not suitable for young children. The "R" rating is well deserved. Enough said about that. I don't believe in giving spoilers. I am not here to provide a synopsis of the film. I just wanted to give you my gut check reaction after having just scene the film 30 minutes ago. Hope this is useful to you! Enjoy it!

I have just recently become aware of the work that Amy Earhart and Trey Stokes have done together. Of course the first project I saw was the Pink Five shorts. (And I loved them!!) I also viewed "Land of Many Uses" short and felt the same awe and appreciation as I had for "Woody Burns...A Life".

Tonight I had the honor of watching Amy stretch her wings and FLY in this dramatic short film. And what a flight it was! It is amazing to me just how much emotion can be captured in such a short time by people with real talent. Not just the principle actors, as good as they are here, but also the Directing/Cinematography/Editing was very professional.

I am not a film critic by any stretch of the imagination. I am just a guy who's been fortunate enough to have been seen some truly dangerous ideas on film making. Dangerous in the sense that other filmmakers have to beware! These films have openend my eyes and raised the bar of expectation for me whenever I view a film from now on.

Amy / Trey and the rest of the crew, this new fan of yours would like to simply say: Thank you.
