"The whole thing felt kind of like a student film. Some of the script, the set, the soundtrack, etc. felt like it was missing something. The actresses when they were young vs when they were old didn't look much different age-wise. With the aesthetic of the film, I think they were going for something that would grab the attention, but it was honestly kind of drab and empty, and lacked any real depth. The pacing was also off, and the way the story was told just didn't fully make sense. It had a whole lot of potential, but it was executed nowhere newr to it's fullest potential."
