I adore how we see every memory from a third person perspective but it turns first person after she sees her reflection and realizes what she’s doing.

[spicyykels]

I think that this film captures "grief is just love with nowhere to go" perfectly. Absolutely incredible.

[cough_syrup_]

just noticed this, but i love how her flashbacks at first are like her being disassociated from her own body. she’s not seeing it exactly how she saw it while it happened, she’s watching as a third person, but then when she realizes the mistakes she had just made, her flashbacks are seen in first person. she’s back in her own body, seeing through her own eyes.

[CatKat]

The emotional part for me? Her crying. The way she cries just gives off her simply wanting to have her husband back. To be able to be in his embrace but also knowing that'll never happen. It's giving a the same vibes as wanting your mother to hug you one last time when you're old, but knowing she'll most likely never be there anymore.

[rattoast]

The moment where she was dripping with blood and excitement just trying to find this killer for her husband, and looking up to see not the criminal eyes, but her own really just crushed me.

[ri-gor]

The scene with the eyes in the mirror was really well done.

[Suprn]

This is why I'm always impressed with short films. Even if the film is less than 15 minutes, they can always tell a compelling story and narrative.

[Rori_Does_Arts]

5:56 Here. Right here. I love how it lingers. She doesn't even realize that it's her own eyes at first. Then, quickly, you see her realization as she fully breaks down. This short film is probably the best I've seen, if not one of.

[abigail]

As someone with ptsd, nothing is scarier than seeing similarities between yourself and your abuser. The mirror scene illustrated that really beautifully

[radraandyy]

i love how it almost takes her a second to process that she isn't looking into the eyes of the police sketch anymore, those are *her* eyes. the pause on that shot shows us so much of what she's feeling. she is so manic that she can't even recognize her own eyes for a moment, she just wants to stare into the eyes of the killer as a sign of triumph and pure revengeful rebellion, but as she does, she realizes how similar they look.

[LumosVeil]

It’s a small detail but I absolutely love how the cat’s whiskers are shown as neat/straight in her flashbacks, but after her husband is killed her whiskers become messy and wavy.

[bluejay]

i still think about this short film constantly 2 years later. its incredible. thank you everyone who worked on it for putting it into the world

I love how instead of her pupil becoming small and a stripe like they usually do in animations and other medias, her's became big and round, as when a cat is preparing to attack. More realistic in this aspect.

[raydaylight]

I think it’s rather impressive that this whole story was told without words. The first sentence we hear is ‚911 what’s your emergency‘ when she was the cause of that emergency, and not when she actually needed help before when she had the emergency… I love short films

[kneepain]

I love how she didn’t even get time to grieve when he died, she immediately sought out revenge and that was all she could think of until she saw her reflection in the mirror and seen she had become the thing she was trying to get revenge on, then the grief hits her.

[STIclinic]

5:54
This is an extremely good detail, the picture having ripped through the eyes, and then having her eyes replace it
Like shes just as bad as her husband’s killer
Shes killed an innocent man for her gain, same as he did

[tigerscar]

I loved how the husband isn't just a plot device.

Usually when a character dies as backstory they never get developed, but here can really get a sense of who he was and how deeply he loved his wife.

Congratulations to the team on making such an amazing short!

[TheGaboom]

I like how all the memories are shown in third person perspective; up until the point she sees her eyes and realizes what shes doing. Like she'd been disconnecting herself from reality so she could be brave enough to act with cruelty, and it resulted in tragedy.

Just like the robber who killed her husband.

[bhiett]

I love how the closeup on the eyes of the sketch was a leadup to them being replaced with her own eyes in the mirror after the act she did, showing how in her pursuit she ended up doing exactly what the person she was hunting did, a robbery turned fatal stabbing leading to a fire.

[timandtom]

This animation is incredible, but to mention this was created by COLLEGE STUDENTS! The details and everything in this video is truly breathtaking yet heartbreaking. Props to everyone who worked on this!
