No Peeking

I really enjoyed this but wasn’t quite sure what to make of the ending. Which maybe is fine. I didn’t know if he was being sincere, or just trying to win, or had tricked her and the real answers were elsewhere.

Also the fact that he didn't really follow the therapist's directions. Had we seen them going back to their session and opened the box, it would've felt like a joke. Not really touching at all. So who knows what the heck he was thinking.
 
This one felt very right. I really liked the concept and the overall tone of the piece. Worked really well. And personally, I liked the ending. I've read some of the questions/rationale regarding this, but I think it fits. It's a nice ending that proves to be sweet as well as surprising.

The actors did a decent job -- nothing I was blown away by but they gave it a good effort. I felt like the psychiatrist outshined the couple, though. Also, as mentioned the frame rate issue was a little jarring.

Overall, though, nice work. Looking forward to more from you!!
 
Nice!

Interesting ending - It seems pretty open to me, and since I didn't peek at the time slider, I didn't expect it to be the ending of the film.

On the technical end, the video frame rate bothered me somewhat, and the audio levels really need some adjusting, to get closer to one steady level.
 
Really liked this movie. The look and tone of it is right on, and the story is great. It all built up to a terrific, intriguing, ambiguous ending. I loved how the ending was shot also - perfect location.

If you are looking for criticisms, I might suggest looking at the first scene with the counselor. It seems a little long and it slows down the pace of the rest of the movie. I'd say get us all the necessary info to get the story going as fast as possible - the good stuff is what comes next. Loved the joke at the end of the scene though. This is just my opinion on it, and if you feel it works, keep it. Awesome movie either way - I just would entertain the idea of cutting a bit to see if it makes it even better.

I'd love to see other movies by this team...
