    Wow guys, this was damn good. I'm surprised at just how well you pulled off certain things in this film. There were a lot of exaggerated looks and shots that could have been cheesy if not done right, but it was all executed in such a way that kept within the tone of the film and elevated the experience. It felt a lot like a David Lynch film, specifically Eraserhead, but yet still very much your own. It left a lot to interpret but also had an underlying story that was easy enough to follow that you still get something out of it upon first viewing. Also an amazing performance by your lead, and fantastic cinematography. This film will sit with me for a while and I'll enjoy interpreting it my own way. Phenomenal job on pulling off something this experimental!
