5What people say
Perhaps the most traditionally well shot location short I’ve seen from Tribeca this year. The withhold tension of what’s really going on worked on me. The reveal was not surprising. The upper prosthetic teeth were also not surprising. But I found it nice to look at. Sympathetic? Ultimately I don’t think so. I like that global feelings for that organization are held back until after explaining there’s a young family involved. Children can’t choose to while they’re born. I found that concept interesting
