I agree with the previous reviewers who said this movie was too real for some. It's difficult, but it's worth it. I didn't know until after I watched it that it's a Trey Edward Shults film. I'm a fan of It Comes at Night and can't wait to see Waves.

Fantastic!

Fantastic short. Powerful story enhanced by beautiful cinematography and superb acting. It is refreshing seeing a short film that has the emotional power of a feature. A profile of a matriarch who is an emotional vortex of need and self-destruction, Krisha's desperate desire to connect with her family is undermined by her own substance abuse. The film is compelling without being exploitative, empathetic without being naive. I have seen over 80 short films in the past few months both in submissions for the film festival I run and at other film festivals. This is a standout. An artistic and storytelling triumph. As a filmmaker and actor I would be keen to work with any member of this team in future. Simply superb.
