Although I usually like watching action packed thrillers, etc; and to sit though a 90 minute film with the same pace as this short would be hellish. But let's make no mistake that this is a Short and there's a time and place for everything - the slow pace suits this subject giving the audience a feeling of the frustration that the female was going through. It's also very well crafted with excellent performances.

The shades of black & white give the film such depth. I like the order of the fruit on her desk laid out in view, and then hidden like a dirty secret when the boss walks out. That was sweet. The slowness of the film gives you the feel of the perpetual long work day; it worked well, while the clutter of the perfected origami created disorder. I really like this film.

I loved this film. Gluttony and greed in the grindingly monotonous and soul-less office environment where clock-watching, as a time wasting exercise, is second only to eating. Nothing is actually created in an office, so bringing into this environment the art and painstaking skills of origami is delightful. I liked the black and white effect and the minimal dialogue. Spend any time in a 'slow' office and you can totally relate to the pace of the film! Sally Hawkins is the perfect mummer in my eyes and a she doesn't disappoint!
One tiny thing...the music drove me nuts!

Slow pace and way too long. Would have worked much better at half the running time.

Liked this film alot. Gave a strong message and was particularly impressed to see Sally Hawkins in the cast!
