So idk if I really agree with this rating. Short films, Tv, Documentaries kind of need to be separated in some way for this rating style to work. Not sure what that would look like and I’m sure is an issue people at Letterboxd, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. have discussed.
My actual review for this: “Captcha doesn’t actually work like that…”
Some tags I would use for this @liamnolan - YouTube - Short Film - Oscar Nom 2025 - Dutch

literally felt like Companion was heavily influenced by this. loved the usage of "creep" and the tension building up

98.8% biblically accurate representation of a good opportunity for radiohead. weird ending and would’ve liked to see more of that whole aesthetic from the beginning, but fun nonetheless

Pitch perfect tone, balanced with just the right amount of suspense and absurdity. Kinda doesn't have a lot to say, but it doesn't really need too. Maybe probably will get better with time?
