Holy shit. I love love love this. Firstly, I adore the audio usage. Sooooo well done. The song choice fits beautifully without being "from the era." The slow, languid nature of the song pairs so well with your editing and the movie source with the rising tempo. Uggggh, I cannot get over this vid. The relationship dynamics are wonderfully explored. That ending? OMG I LOVE IT

This is so cleverly vidded, I love the music choice and the way it builds and the ending made me well up. Great vid.

This is so well done. I'm never ever going to watch the source for this, but I love your vid of it.

Ohhhh, this is amazing. I haven't seen the source material at all (although I did recognize Brit Marling), but I'm still captivated by how you've edited it together in such a way that it can draws the viewer so powerfully into the narrative in such a brief span of time.

I'm really impressed at how much of the original dialogue and sound you've incorporated into this, and the raw visceral emotion that those add atop the foundation set by the song.

And that ending, gyaaaaaah. Holding the shot, beat, beat, beat, beat, silence, crack. It made me shiver.

Well done! I'm really glad I watched this, even if I never have the chance to see the source movie.

Oh, wow. That was intense and dark and so well done. The build of the narrative and the characters is fantastic, and of course, the ending. Holy Crap.
