It might take you longer to read the reviews than it would take you to watch this short. The runtime is two minutes. You might as well check it out if you've come this far. For being so short and so minimal, it is done surprisingly well. For the little that we do get to see, the lighting and the shot composition are solid. Would anybody care about this short if it wasn't Polanski's first student film? Absolutely not. Is it better than other famous directors' first student films that I've seen? I think so. Comparing this work to the first works of a directors like David Lynch or Ari Aster, I would have to rate Polanski's higher.
