This excellent short film from Chloe Leigh King is a great example of how to say more with less. With just a few words out of each character's mouth you understand so much about who they are, their flaws, their dynamics within their relationships. The film presents competently from the opening frame to the final image and manages to be provocative in surprising ways. The characters care for each other a great deal even with subversive interaction. Several times, a moment presents as shock value or a red herring... and in the next moment, you realize it's earned and it's no herring at all. So much subtext and intrigue packed into a restrained, proactive and thoughtful short film. Excellent.
