Great visual document



This movie uses dialog very sparingly and relies almost entirely on the strength of its images and sound.

I’ve read comments saying that there should’ve been more story and more dialog, but that wasn’t the movie the filmmakers set out to create— and I think that they achieved their desired objective quite well.

Its length is perfect. It’s short enough that you don’t tire of the atmosphere (or its impact), and short enough that you’re able to retain what you’ve seen.

The internal dialog you have with yourself while watching it is most likely to be quite interesting. And the questions you may have at the end are probably the questions the filmmakers wanted you to take away from the movie. Highly recommended.
