    It may not be a movie designed properly but i still enjoyed.

    Amateurish but interesting

    The story goes in a lot of very weird directions, the writing is abysmal, and the characters are one-dimensional, but it's still an okay way to spend an hour and a half. Liza gets a little more interesting as she opens up, but the story itself is disconnected and clearly has absolutely no idea what it's trying to say. Great eye candy in the landscapes, at least; rolling hills, rocky crags and beautiful veldt as far as the eye can see. And Liza isn't that bad to look at either.

    More amateurish than many TikTok clips

    Looks like a movie school project and the most interesting part of this are the landscapes. There is a lack of production values here that could make any adult entertaining crew to blush.

    Not a single shade of resemblance of a story here.

    The cameraman seems more interested in chase those good looking girls taking shots at their legs and arse at any single chance but there isn't more here to see (like a failed attempt to do an actual piece of adult entertaining).

    A lot of padding secuences, this could have been a 20 minutes short easily.

    There are some TikTok and Youtube videos better than this that take only some minutes.

    So many people gave this vanity project more than 5 of 10 stars, some even dare to say this deserve a ten and I don't know if it's because some kind of trolling, prank, or whoever made it asked his friends and family to do it.

    But, hey, these actresses are very good looking.

    Wow So Bad

    The story, pacing... everything except the cinematography is terrible. Nothing ever happens but the filming location is nice. So bad.

    Ending Drags It Down

    If you're okay with a flick that is "fairly good" and "almost works" then you might give this one a shot. It's a simple set-up, super low budget with only three actors in one setting (and some driving scenes) and for the first two thirds is where it qualifies as "fairly good". With only three actors it's a shame when one of them struggles more than the others, but one of them is pretty good so it balances out. The location is visually striking although the director doesn't really take advantage of it, and it held my interest for the most part. The weak link was definitely the screenplay. The characters aren't consistent (which only makes sense for one of them) and the dialogue is spare and rather bland. There's not enough being said or done to make a truly gripping psychological thriller, it more or less just plods along. But I kept watching, waiting to see where it would go, but unfortunately it completely falls apart at the end. Basically the script doesn't really do anything with it's set-up and then everybody starts behaving stupidly just so there can be an actual climax. For two thirds of this short little flick it couldn't commit to being a mystery, or a character piece, and then in the last ten minutes tries to be all of the above, plus maybe a thriller, maybe a crime flick, maybe a supernatural thingy, maybe a symbolic representation on the impossibility of truthful relationships. It was a 6.5/10 until the climax then I have to drop it down to a 4. But you might be more tolerant.
