Loved the stop motion dancing elements and great use of sound effects during the puppet sequences. I found the plot a little confusing and it felt the film didn't have much of a structure - but I feel like this was more of a creative art piece rather than a three-act structure kinda film. Great job!

Was that mechanical techno? I was enamoured with the soundtrack

Fever dream surreal hypnotic dance of the (voodoo-like) dolls in a warzone the name of the game here that I found visually captivating but hard to understand at the same time.

After rebuffing the advances of 2 men with sinister vibes by closing the curtains and lighting some candles, the aforementioned dolls put on a rhythmic display in line with an outer worldly soundtrack and disorientating at times frame rate.

This was a message film, coming across as the nameless, the faceless being slaves to the horror of war, and whilst a great message, I felt that the abstract presentation needed a bit more glue to hold together the storyline coherently however visually memorable the film was.

Story: 2/5
Technical: 3.5/5
Elements: 3/5
Overall: 2.5/5
