    I liked the movie..the wide screen video was very nicely done..I thought the acting was excellent..and even the shadows were adding just that special thing/I did not like the dog being part of the starting frames(I thought it disrupted)the beautiful video scenes..and there was two instances of blurred background that seemed somehow(off-base)..I thought I was watching a real cinematic feature..very good footage.

    Fantastic. I liked this style of presenting a short, how narrative-propelling events happened in a flash, and the evocative intimate shots were held a long time.. it kindof represented how stuff just 'happens' around you when you're little and you just reflect on it. Strange, how it was on the edge of realism, this mysterious guy just standing there alone after she's run off.. how it's surely exaggerated her domestic captivity.. this all captivated me in the way kids so often experience life as an emotional characiture, everything so much more intense, means more, effects them more. That's how I relate it to my own childhood anyway which I guess I'm still not out of.
    Really beautiful!

    Perfect! A truly lovely, thought provoking film!

    I have worked with Anton Saunders and he is an extremely giving actor. His performance in this is, as always, excellent!!

    this is one of the most moving and thought-provoking shorts I have ever seen. Well deserved winning the turner classics prize. A real triumph of visual storytelling.

    Great little film, and nice sound design. Benefits from a lack of music too.
