Saw someone review this earlier today when I logged into Letterboxd and figured I'd give it a watch as well. I had no clue that it was only 11 minutes long, but for a very short film streaming on HBO Max, I honestly thought it was pretty solid.
We all find solace and comfort in the most unexpected of places. Sometimes, it's just going on a night drive, sometimes its a certain place in a park, and in this case, it's the weightlessness of water that doesn't hold you down like when you're above water-level. Metaphorically and symbolically, it's a lot stronger than I probably expected it to be going in pretty much blind.
Looks exceptional and was extremely well shot, with the underwater scenes being the clear standouts of the short. But there's also a lot of great use of color here that's incredibly visually appealing. I'd love to see this further expanded upon in a feature-length film one day.
