The dwarves gave off Polar Express vibes.
3–4/10
Not absolutely terrible taken on its own, but the fact that this just feels like a Tarzan copycat ruins most of the fun.
4–5/10
A strange combination of simultaneously trying too hard to say something profound with its technical craft while not trying hard enough to get deeper into the depravity of its subject matter. I can understand why it may work for some, but it did not for me.
Everything a documentary short should be. Revelatory, full of wisdom and insights, and poignant.
