Director Lorcan Finngan delivers a somber tale of isolation set in an abandoned suburban community. The young couple, Maria Ruane and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, are growing further apart as they try to stay financially afloat.
The setting and cinematography are fabulous, pulling you into suburbia and trapping you inside. The score is the main drive of this short and plays as its best character. The dialogue is minimal, leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks. This is far from perfect, but a fun little ride.
This connected with me a lot better than Vivarium, which was remade from this short. At a 16 minute runtime, there is no reason not to gives this little gem a watch.
