I want to start by saying that overall I really enjoyed the film. Normally, I am not a fan of mostly silent movies, they tend to bore me. But something about this one really just grabbed my attention and kept me interested. For starters, I really enjoyed the music, it sounded like something I would buy. I think it really set the mood for the movie. I also love the way they opened the film, with the still shots of the road and the motel. I also loved the camera angles that were used, especially in the beginning. While the girl was cleaning, it wasn't the typical full shot of her, it focused on like the bathtub or her hand or various other things. And I loved that when she found the box of paints that it was like we were looking at her from under the bed, as if the paints were looking at her. It was really a cool way of seeing it, gave me a new perspective.

I really enjoyed the way they portrayed the owner of the motel. The actor did a fabulous job, and it was nice to have a little humor in the film. And his character seemed to fit in so well with the setting.

 I think my favorite part of the film was the flashback scene. The bubbles and the giggling totally made me feel like a little kid again. And the way the lighting was set up, the mood was set perfectly. And the way she was running through the field..something about it just really got to me. I loved it.

So in conclusion, I thought it was a great film.
