The Earth Belongs to No One

I'm not big on social issues films as viewing resilience isn't my strong suit, but wanted to watch it for Jessica Barden as a short it feels like a feature and it doesn't disappoint. Jessica Barden's performance is turned down and massively vibrational, nothing like i've ever seen her before. Beuatiful film and the rest of the cast are also amazing.

Striking performances and the opening sequence is visceral and powerful. Great storytelling with the use of sparse dialogue. A lot of surprises in this film, breaking story structure in the second act adds to its strength. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend. Just want to know what happened next?????!!!!!

It's not a paint by numbers film and it's not a talky film, so if you are looking for escape to something (very) different with unexpected twists and turns told in quiet, measured pacing. This film is for you. Much of the films quiet stillness is reflected in the youngest of the girls who is mute/apraxia debilitated by the gang at school. The still life painted vision of the country is mercurial, dark and unsettling. The rumble of the danger runs from start to finish. Well crafted play on suspension, safely held on the stilts of strong performances from every character on screen.

TEBTNO played at the Rooftop festival in U.S. it feels like a big story told in small realities. Following two girls who pick up a weapon to protect he selves. It portrays the struggles of loneliness and poverty, everyday survival fighting off attentions from nasty gangs. But with all that aside the film has a human and universal story, emancipation and overcoming hurt and trauma. It signals to Ghandi's 'An Eye for an Eye and the whole world goes blind.' The performances are powerful, but for a quiet short film it's soul is vibrational. Definitely worthy of screening again in U.S. If you are seeking at art house short with cinematic voice, you will find the filmmaker hasn't compromised on her vision. Also an indie, and the film would surpass a bechdel Test. Highly recommend!

A Thriller with a dark twist that keeps you guessing.
