There's some accomplished filmmaking here by Shana Feste though. The fourth wall work is inspired, essentially editting what we do not *need* to see and therefore enforcing the point of the film in one fell swoop.
And dealing with menstruation this ... boldly is also surely of great value. Sad it needs to be but that's again where the piece shows its worth.
Epla Balinska and Pilou Asbaek are ripe for their respective roles. Watch as the latter halts you from encroaching on his 'work'.
