My mind feels so strained... Lol From the very first scene, your mind is racing with thoughts as you see a man standing over a couple with a gun, then quickly scurrying away down the street to his home. From that moment, the mysterious story begins to unfold as you see many raw moments happening intimately in a linear timeline fashion from the perspective of the main character. The title is misleading depending on your artistic understanding, but realistically this movie is an ambiguous metaphor in a class of it's own. I love the 4:3 format and felt like it completed the wholeness and gravity of scenes. This film won't likely catch everyone's eye but this is a beautifully crafted project that was created with thoughtfulness and heart. Excellent acting is also worth mentioning considering it singularly follows the story of a family. This slow-burn may not have the initial eye-popping pizzazz, but deep down it is an obscurely vitalized story.
