I quite enjoyed this one, reminded me of lovely bones. ,. . . only a LOT more infuriating stupid adults in here
A beautiful yet heartbreaking dark fantasy film
I always love the fairytale aspect of these kind of movies. Such a pretty movie but so heartbreaking.
Great movie
Quite disturbing and thoroughly engaging, with great performances to boot. Some of the attempts at supernatural horror don't fully land, and the monologues are a bit overwrought, but overall this is a really unique and important piece of work. Yes, it's not explicitly "horror" which upsets some Shudder critics, but it is certainly horrific, and more importantly, a great movie. If you liked this and want to see a more grounded short film around the same subject (and have the stomach for it), check out Saria (2019).
