Excellent but odd, 14 March 2006
10/10
Author: LazyHobo from United States

This is one of admittedly few short films that I have seen. I purchased this through the iTunes music store, and I must say, it was very worth the $1.99. This is a story of a man whose wife died, and gets on a train and sits down next to one of the few people on the train. It is a very simple storyline, yet the developments that result make this film truly an excellent piece of film (hence the Oscar). Personally, I would consider this to be a comedy, but it is of the dark and twisted variety. Anyone who wants a moving, yet humorous short film should most certainly find a way to watch this. Highly recommended due to the artful combination of humor and true content, while still providing an appealing and interesting story.
