While it has nothing offensive in it's viewing, it keeps reminding me that I've see this before from that one other move that came before and did it better. The cinematographic, editing, audio, writing and acting are good as in comparison to the time it was made. Out of it all the writing and editing stands out the most to me. It would have a much higher rating (at lest a 7) if it had more originality. Enjoyable but nothing new.

It wants to be from the perspective of the lead actor but she doesn't seem to have more to ad then being. There is only a shy girl but what else.

The editing feels cinematic at times and then like a video which I give it it's highest rating, since it is a video format. The fast pace and shallow depth of filed helps as well so points to the cinematographer as well. A few cinematic flairs with some zooms.

Nothing wrong with the acting but there aren't too many long shots to really get more character.

Dialog in the writing feels right but I didn't get much out of it by the end. French is a second language to me so I may be missing something there.

I'd still be interested in watching more from all involved who I mentioned (editing, etc.) with a better story idea. It shows good work in craft but lack in filling the entertainment value for this viewer.

My physical copy (it can be found on youtube.com) had extras so I went through those. I didn't give me to much more to ad interest into the story.

Given that it was put together for a magazine so it was produced by them as the client, I once again give praise to the craft but the lack of story makes me only wanting to come back to this for second watch for the editing and cinematography.
