Cormack delivers again. With a longer running time(13 minutes) than Nightwalking, this allows for more varied pacing, and the build-up of atmosphere and mood is not at all hurried(not to say that it was in aforementioned piece). This deals with loss, and is as psychological, smart and accessible as the later-released ultrashort. It's very well-done, with nothing lacking in production value. The acting is spot-on. The editing is sharp and effective. The cinematography is smooth and well-planned. The concept is well-thought out, and as this progresses, it slowly becomes clear to the viewer what is going on, without a hint of heavy-handedness. This can be described as a black comedy-drama. Some of the humor is irony, and most of it works marvelously well. The writing is impeccable. There is not much objectionable material in this. Beyond a little bit of language, which is strong in tone, but next to nonexistent in amount, as well as entirely confined to the first couple of minutes, there is almost nothing worth mentioning. I would still say that this should not be viewed by anyone that could be deemed too young, if for no other reason, the themes explored. I recommend this to anyone who has liked the director elsewhere, or would be willing to give him a chance based on this review. 8/10
