The film showed me a reality which I have never seen. It was a fusion of darkness with memories of the past which evoke happiness. Overall well done, with some definite room for improvement.
I enjoyed watching our main character struggle with her own addiction which keeps her "drowning" just like a drug addict.
Pro/Con: Some really great shots w/ the camera, but not enough story telling through the camera.
Pro: The chapters of the boat narration kept me interested in what the moral was.
Con: There were times when it was so mundane to watch I wanted to stop watching.
Pro: It showed a terrific literal drowning during a very real scene. I don't know that I've seen something edited like this. It was different and it played well.
Con: The pacing of the film was too even and I think this is why many viewers will find this film "boring". The colors / contrast wasn't helping tell the story either. With better pacing this may have only needed to be a 45 minute film and would have kept the audience to feel more empathy for the main characters.
Pro: Acting by the main two actors was superb, three if you include the little girl.
Con: I don't think the director knew what her main characters would eat for breakfast. And if she did, she didn't convey it to the audience, AKA - if we dove a little deeper with the characters we could have felt more connection.
