It is not necessary, in my opinion, to make a movie for no clear reason when you have no idea what you are doing. The fact that there was no dialogue in the movie and that it took place in the child's world were both things that I liked about it. By delving into the child's viewpoint, the filmmakers captured the innocence, wonder, and unfiltered emotions of childhood; however, the movie is completely boring and lacks any engaging story. It's good that the movie is 1 hour and 20 minutes long, because by the time it's over, you find yourself wondering, "So what?". As the film progressed, the lack of a clear narrative left me questioning the purpose and ultimate impact of the events unfolding before me.
