  Beautiful imagery. Reminds me a bit of Fat Girl - not as tragic though

  This film struck childhood memory of when I was growing up with my younger siblings. This film shows how much two siblings love each other. I cried in the happiest moments

  This film touches on the historical erasure of a once original people. We are in a multi dimensional of space, time, and memory. I think it’s such an important story to be told. 

  However, I didn’t quite connect with the characters at hand. The acting felt forced and it suddenly cuts to a documentary aspect of it with an archaeologist. 

  Definitely lots of mixed feelings in the craft and imagery of this film. It’s very inconsistent, lots to say, but no real emotional connection to a story.
