This is a fantastic student film. I'm looking forward to the director's future professional work.
Like most student films, this work seems to showcase specific techniques that are of interest to the student director, but for which no larger context or conceptual direction is evident.
It's interesting how the director has taken remarkable pains to keep this film (barely) at a PG-13 rating level, even though the content is more suggestive of an R movie.
Even though it might not have full frontal nudity, this isn't exactly the sort of movie you would screen at a junior high school assembly or for a church group. The near-nudity that is nearly always presented in a sexual context is close enough.
Unfortunately, although the individual vignettes that comprise the film are well-done for a student work, they never quite gel together into the artistic whole expected from a more experienced professional. The potential is there, however, for the director to create something remarkable in the future.
