loved it until the end

I really liked this short up until the end. i agree with the other reviewer that it should've ended earlier. of course there's a fascination with the titular character, but it should've begun and ended with his mother giving him nourishment. i think this ending downplays the fact that the rest of the film largely centered on her intense frustration and exhaustion from caring for her child. other than that, i really enjoyed it and was successfully grossed out!
