But did you like it

I wouldnt go so far as to say I liked it but it was worth a watch. Felt a bit too much like a short film that got padded out, and the cinematographic concept, while clever and definitely unnerving, isnt strong enough to carry the film for its entire runtime.

Id compare and contrast it with Lynchs weirder stufflike Lynch, it has a story to tell but is far less concerned with the story than it is with creating a certain vibe for its audience to experience; unlike Lynch, who creates terror by showing us horrifying things and refusing to let us look away, Skinamarink more often opts to angle the camera away from whatever action is happening in the scene, almost as if threatening to show us what we dont want to see. In this way it is very good at creating incredibly tense moments, but I think that the conceit wears thin after a while.
