I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's him.Anyone watching this short today (2016) is going to immediately connect it with the Babadook. The top hat, the mysterious bedtime story that appears out of nowhere. But, because both were made / released in 2014, it seems like it has to be a coincidence, right? A big one ,but a coincidence just the same.We rarely see independent filmmakers working with this level of production value. The camera, the music, the costumes and makeup... this should have been an international hit from the second it was released. Seek it out if you can, well worth your seven minutes.
