“I very much enjoyed this small, character driven movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story unfolds bit by bit by means of exposition and some flashbacks, culminating in a stomach twisting conclusion.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnly three characters make up the cast, but thatu0026#39;s really all that is needed to bring this little gem to life. The performances are great; especially Maya Kazanu0026#39;s. She is doing most of the talking, so maybe thatu0026#39;s what makes her stand out. James Callis was great as well, and same goes for Frank Medrano. Medranou0026#39;s character could have been fleshed out maybe a little more?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRecommended if you like movies like Death and the Maiden, (almost entirely) taking place in one single room, focusing on character interaction to draw you in.”
