“WOW! WOW! WOW! First of all: the cinematography is looking su-per-b. Absolutlely fantastic. From the shots made at night to the shots by daylight, they all just suck you into the story. All the small details like the short blurr when seeing the close-up hand in the bedroom scene, they all just combine together so nice. Normally a ''Non-Dialogue'' Film is a film as such because the director thought it was more powerful to leave the story without dialogue. But this is from a new dimension. Yes, of course it's a ''Non-Dialogue'' but with the idea of sign language. Wow.. absolutely speechless (No pun intended). But overall, great, great work!”
