7.5/10

I enjoy the concept of seeing the same story told from two different perspectives and how it shapes the way you perceive the story depending on who's telling it. It's cleverly done here, although it's a bit short and I wish there had been more depth to it.

6.5

I remember enjoying it at the time, but it hasn't really stuck with me. Bonus points for Elijah Wood.
