Fine
That is honestly the only word I can use to describe my feelings when watching the film. It was fine. I was excited after Netflix hit it out of the park with If Anything Happens I Love You (2020) but this was just so fine. It didn't stand out against other shorts for me.
I really wanted it to tear my heart out and stamp on it but I watched it pretty stone faced. It looked fine and you could follow the story so it had that going for it.
I think the score let it down. It was the worst part for me. It didn't really sell any of the emotions and that is a very important part of a movie with no dialogue. It seemed indifferent to what was happening on the screen and seemed to just be doing its own thing.
So you could watch it and support people making shorts but I was really hoping for more.

Doesn't need words
Just a beautiful piece of art. The style of it is absolutely beautiful, I love that the "dream world" is basically ON the canvas. It is not necessary to have dialogue since it shows very well that trauma can paralyze you (figuratively, or maybe even literally?). Just a poetic, tiny heart-warming short!
Loved it!
This short film was not advertised as it should have been. The beauty is in the words not spoken. The plot was easy to follow. The graphics were beautifully done. This was a beautiful Black short film. It should be acclaimed as such.
Kindly spare 9 minutes for this beautiful piece.
Give some support to these short films. This one is a beautiful piece to watch, not much just would take 9 minutes.
Absolutely beautiful
9 minutes and it made me shed as many tears. It was hauntingly beautiful. I particularly loved the attention to detail in regards to the hair texture.
