  Works just fine as a short film, but when you've seen the full version, you can't help but remember how much better it was because of how much time you have with the characters.

  Krisha is still my favorite film from Schultz. I hope to see more stuff from him in the future that's more like his first two films...

  Better than the feature.
  More focused.
  More tense.
  Somehow even darker.
  Love this and I can see why this put Shultz on the map.

  I'm so glad Trey Edward Shults was able to create the feature film. 14-15 minutes isn't enough to make something so impactful and emotional as the feature length film was.

  Loud and fierce just like the 2015 feature film. But if you have seen that film, and enjoyed it then there isn't any reason to watch this. Maybe this could be the film to show a friend to see if they may be interested in the full feature. But maybe that is all.

  Review by Yarjka ★★★★

  This works incredibly well as a short film. I wish I wasn’t distracted by noticing the differences between it and the feature film, because I think if I let it sink in it would potentially be even more powerful. The silent flashes of regret work great here, and the musical selections are quite jarring as well. The scene with the dog is incredibly effective as is the finale. 

  One thing I noticed in this is an emphasis on hands as a symbol of togetherness, capability, and unity. Lots of closeups of hands being used to cook, to embrace, and to lead to trouble. It’s interesting that the decision was made to remove her finger for the feature film. It adds all the more to that symbolism of disrepair and tragic loss.

  Shults's short film Krisha is a bracing, jarring, relentless film that pins your heart down and doesn't let go. The camerawork, the violins and needle drops, the quick cuts and most of all the lead performance make this an assaultive desperate experience. So very difficult to watch! Cringing the entire time.
  Shults's apprenticeship with Terrence Malick is really visible here - the way many of these scenes are cut without the dialogue, the wide angles and editing tempos.
  I actually think this works better than the feature version.

  6/10
  Definitely works better as a feature but this was a pretty decent short. Generally feels rushed and pretty much entirely lacks any character building but at least it's nicely shot (which is a usual for Shults) and personal. In the end, it's easy to tell that it was only made in order to get the feature made.
