COMMUNITY REVIEWS

a very brief but good film submitted by Tassos on January 17, 2019, 7:47am although not as good as the critics may have you believe.

Interesting submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:15am This was a sad story that was an intimately shot look at the dehumanization of Diouana. This was a movie about expectations vs reality. We're inside of Diouana's head for most of this movie, getting first-person-perspective shots and internal monologue. Even though it's a shorter film, you feel the emotion and imprisonment.
