Pretty nice looking one shot film, they picked out the location perfectly. Story was a bit iffy though not sure what it was on about, some scary homeless people or something.

Wasn't sure what happened sorry. :S Alright production though.

Camera work good, but story sketchy. Couldn't work out the ending.

Liked the setting. Film had a good orientation but no story after that. Never saw anything about the girl stealing cans???

Loved the cinematography... Dark warehouse... Good lighting... Actors seemed well cast... But couldn't get the story - sorry. The stars are for how pretty it was.

Lovely setting and colouring, no idea what was going on in the story but I don't think that in seeing 48 Hours films we really need to see hundreds of formulaic resolved stories. However I wished the guy had said Du hast meine Kannen gestohlen, why was he being polite to this thieving criminal

Possibly the most difficult genre ever in the competition. One shot scenes only work when you pack as much into it as you possibly can. For this you may need a thousand men on horseback, a few canons, some warships, or possibly just a high school locker-room. People running and screaming doesn’t quite cut it, because I can imagine filming that 20 times and being able to use every take. In saying that, it was very pretty. Maybe it needs to be seen again to find out what all the commotion was about the precious antique cans.

I double posted by accident and can't delete the duplicate review. I apologise.

Was taken on a thrill by the first scream in the dark when the friend disappeared and was waiting on the edge of the seat to see what happened to her, but really couldn't work out the rest and didn't get the end at all. Sorry, didn't understand where this one was going.

Ein schöner und interessanter Film! Der Charakter errinert mich an mir! Als ich war ein bisschen armer, natürlich. Und auch obdachgelos, na klar! Echt toll und viel Glück für den Zukunft!

I really liked this one. The look, colour and feel of the film does partly cover over a bit of a flimsy story, but not completely. This was looking excellent for about the first half of it, then the story kind of went nowhere, and the ending just left puzzled (and not in the good way). Also, the chase scene could have been fantastic if she was running faster. Since they were limited by one shot, they cant just do some fancy cutting, and it would have felt more like a chase if it was a bit faster.

This is by far one of the best from this heat. I am sick of unintelligent reviews btw. Cinematography great, sound good, acting great. For those who cannot review well, make better films next time, go to Uni or at least watch more short films. Anyone who gets a one shot for trying should at least get credit for attempting this. This requires constant practice in order to get the right timing. I understand that the ending is ambiguous, it just means it is open ended and leaves more for the audience to think about... Just because it is not a funny film it doesn't mean it shouldn't get my vote.
