Thrilled to see Jenny Agutter again in this downloaded short, having not seen her in films for over two decades here. She's an amazing actress remembered from so many brilliant films from the 70's, WALKABOUT by Nic Roeg anyone?? This is a brilliant film in all departments. Suspenseful from the start with a slow tracking camera creeping up on various people we feel we already know, for better or worse if you've ever lived in a city flat. Great use of a well chosen cast of British actors and well paced suspense hold you in the film's icy grip and keep you there right to the payoff. It's tightly contained mostly within the flats but this seems a deliberate decision and not about budgets. The direction and editing are taut but its not noticeably rushed. I really liked the use of suspense and drama which is very NOTES ON A SCANDAL but has more power.
