I too enjoyed the film and Alex evidently has a lot of talent. <br /><br />I really liked the photography - the shifting focus, and the way we were quickly immersed into this characters headspace through the odd-angled close-ups. We weren't sure why she was acting the way she was, but we were intrigued to find out. I think the deliberate pacing added to this intrigue, but I see your point about the first 7-8 minutes. I loved the breakdown scene (very Shame-like) and the accompanying music and Catherine is stunning. What an acquisition. Really impressed.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-37467225664508311952012-07-30T23:11:43.133+01:002012-07-30T23:11:43.133+01:00Nice review.

Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the pacing of the film, but I can see how a lot of viewers would not stick with it.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-83492295707032989482012-07-30T22:42:48.274+01:002012-07-30T22:42:48.274+01:00I was going to ask that, if the blood on her hands...I was going to ask that, if the blood on her hands was real or not, it seemed real :)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-44092419657648397222012-07-30T22:42:06.411+01:002012-07-30T22:42:06.411+01:00Yes, it's a miracle what you can do with a dig...Yes, it's a miracle what you can do with a digital camera like the one he used, it looked great!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-61139009267574649472012-07-30T16:19:17.172+01:002012-07-30T16:19:17.172+01:00Wow, Diana, thank you for this review.

(You deserve specific thanks for encouraging me to get more sleep throughout the process haha. It is SO odd to get more than four hours of sleep a night now.)<br /><br />Completely understand your thoughts on the first 7-8 minutes. Fair analysis there.<br /><br />Thanks again for everything!<br /><br />(Oh and a bit of trivia: your favorite shot was actually of real blood. She accidentally slit her hand open on the glass, we washed it off, but before we bandaged it, she took that shower and just... let it bleed. We were kind of obsessed with realism haha.)Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-87695400296486775062012-07-30T14:55:56.176+01:002012-07-30T14:55:56.176+01:00Great review!
