Excellent. Beautifully done and seriously creepy.
Mithran

Fantastic use of music to supplement an eerie and disturbing message; film noir in two minutes is not easy, but you made it look so. A really chilling and wonderful short.

"There but for the grace..." Dark, stark and elegant.

Like Kafka distilled into a two minute film. Evocative and creepy.

You do in 2 minutes what M. Night Shyalaman takes 2 hours to do -- and you do it better!

sophisticated journey into a world of mute shades and darkness. Great production values at every level.

I am alive You are dead - an eerie and foreboding entry into this stark and elemental world.. Sound Design is fantastic! A thoughtful and visually beautiful film.

I didn't think it was possible to make a short so gripping but this one really says something.. not sure what exactly, but something :) ... and the cinematography was bloody excellent.
Sara

Strange. But Amazing. Astonishing. Bravo!!
Tim

Stunning, absolutely stunning. The best use of the medium that I think I've ever seen. This short is a thought provoking, truly meaningful work of art and nothing less! I look forward to seeing more of your work - thank you, for sharing your brilliance with everyone.
Jasmine Jewell

To be thought provoking in 2 minutes is a pretty tough task but you've managed it beautifully. Many viewings required to get the best from it, I think. Imagine the impact on a big screen...

A beautiful piece of film and perfect music. Surely this will win! Like all great art it means different things to different people so you can take from it what you will. I loved it!
jane

Cool, moody, professional,well written, acted and directed. There but for the grace of God...
