CGiii Comment

Rather intense, definitely atmospheric...and, technically impressive.

It does manage to capture some of the angst and confusion of teenage-hood...but, it drags on for far too long and limps to a - sadly - flaccid conclusion.

Too short - really - to be a feature, too long to be a short...with some extreme editing and a decent ending, it could have been an impressive short.
