Groundbreaking.
- Manny Mangos
An exploration of the need to find genuine
connections, the film worms its way into the
brain: lush, deeply felt, very modern.

The new lagnuage of cinema is upon us.

i want you to be honest about what this is really about. don't use words to hide what this is. to me this is about heartbreak. as your audience, i don't like the deception of the description. this is the story of the filmmaker, the director, not the subject. this isn't about her tough decision it's about the effects of her decision on you. at least that was my experience of it.
it's worth keeping in mind that in art i like calling a shoe a shoe. i think it's valuable to tell your audience the truth so that they are allowed to start in the right place. i know that not everyone agrees with that.
i really got into the movie after the first sequence. i think you could shorten the first sequence by half and it could be more effective. it feels, i think during the sequence about the stranger joke and after that, really honest or like.. it's not trying to do anything except be itself. i guess that doesn't make a lot of sense but i forgot that i was watching a movie YOU made and watched the movie itself. you as a filmmaker were present but not overly so. there was a naturalness to it that was lovely.
the subtitles in the stranger joke sequence were wonderful.
i really like this and i really like that you're doing it. thank you for sharing it with me
