At first I thought this film was like completely pointless and that the producer must have just made it for the sole purpose of being able to say she made a film. Actually initially I thought I got a foreign film without subtitles, but I knew it was made in Canada so I let it play and finally saw a couple subtitles and then some English. As the film progressed I began to see more and more that it might have some artistic merit. I think the title of this film is symbolic of the end of the silence of Darya as she gets to know Eddie and ultimately the end of the silence between Nora and Eddie. I found this film to be very abstract and I'm not sure there was a solid plot. The scene transitions weren't very obvious, and there were a few points where I really wasn't sure what was happening. The cinematography was very inconsistent, at times it seemed very amateur and then other times it was very artistic and there were angles that were original to me. A few angles led me to believe somebody was hiding behind the bush that was blocking my view, it was a little odd at times, but that could just be due to preconditioning from other films. I think that the acting was quite good for the most part and I guess I can't really complain, it was good for a low budget film.
