    I didn’t feel a single minute pass by while watching this. Absolute masterclass in visual storytelling, what a film!!!

    Probably the first feature I’ve ever seen without human actors in any capacity AND some of the shortest credits I’ve ever seen, especially for a work of this scale. Just incredible what Zilbalodis and the whole team pulled off on a shoestring using free, open-source (!!!) software.

    Though as the human counterpart to a lovely but not-so-smart black kitty, the first half is definitely giving me nightmares tonight 😭

    ★★★★

    Minus one star because the gold rush ancestor is shown with bluegrass playing in the background, which is hugely anachronistic as that style of music didn’t exist until nearly 100 years after the California gold rush

    ★★½

    Feels like a movie you'd watch at a middle school sleepover after your friend's parents went to sleep because it's so gratuitously explicit, only it's so long that your friend falls asleep halfway through and you have to sleep listening to the DVD menu music because you don't know how to work their home entertainment system.

    Went on forever, I thought it was going to end eight times before it actually ended.

    10/10 for Joe Small though.

    heard the script for this was riddled with typos because Kubrick typed up the whole thing with one hand
