“What an immersive, emotionally honest film!”
Austin Film Festival
“Really pushed the bar…it’s not even just for emerging talent…just generally”
— Rachelle Lambden, Laika Studios
“The animation style is super unique… using black and white stop motion for the faces, hands and objects while their bodies and the setting are all in color and use life size models.”
— Harper Harris, GeekRex
“A deceptively simple, elegantly understated visual style, it can be easy to overlook the intricate and seamless meshing of drawn and stop motion that is playing out here. Hiding in plain view and utilised perfectly to demarcate the variety of physical and mental ‘spaces’ the film moves around in, it’s a wonderful example of this hybrid technique and all the more ambitious for being a student film.”
— Malcolm Turner - London International Animation Festival
