    Solid short film about two college kids in Turkey who want to have sex but are terrorized for sneaking around in a conservative country. Just the right length to stay interesting.

    Apparently, I've seen this before... it was all very familiar but fairly enjoyable nonetheless. I like Anna Kendrick, though this certainly isn't her best work. It kind of felt like Anna Kendrick being a less likeable version of herself.... while George Clooney was being George Clooney-ish. It all works together, but it doesn't feel like a lot of heavy lifting was going on either.

    Wow, this was incredible and definitely deserving of the all praise it's recieved. It was funny, smart, compelling.... everything a superhero movie should be.

    Unable to rate this lost film, but I did enjoy Janet Bergstrom's "essay" on youtube, which uses stills and the script to pull together the story of the film. It's a shame it is lost, as it seems like it would be an interesting watch.

    Supposedly, Mary Duncan lost or tossed away the only copy of the film. I hope it is found one day.
