  Look both ways
  
  Alas found it very dreary, struggled to engage or feel sympathetic towards any of the main protagonists.Disappointing and really couldn't recommend.

  Somehow very real. How people deal with life problems that can overwhelm us but end up making us who we are and growing us wiser more complete people.

  Lost its way
  
  Well all very interesting concept but tended to get a teensy little bit boring after awhile... was beginning to meander... and then got rather cheesy.

  It wasn't that bad
  
  I thought it was sad and sometimes amusing. Very slow to start but worth a watch nonetheless. It's a bit depressing, it's all about death

  Convincingly acted and beautifully edited this unusual film leaves you questioning life and death without being pretentious
