On the whole, the visuals are incredible. However, there's one scene (the nude woman outside) where the lighting could be much better (looks like they used natural light for that scene). Other than that, it's pretty great.
Really loved the score too. Fit with the visuals almost perfectly. Only complain about that is the piano towards the end, which is maybe a bit too cliché.
Another thing worth noting, is the inclusion of MOPS DanceSyndrome felt exploitative (MOPS DanceSyndrome is a dance company made of dancers with Down Syndrome). Whether or not they were being exploited, I don't know. I assume not, but it felt that way, primarily because there was no reason (story wise) for the dancers to all have Down Syndrome.
Which leads me on to the story. Couldn't really figure out what things were meant to represent (didn't read the description on Vimeo, so perhaps that explains it). Perhaps more could've been done to explain it. That being said, it's abstract, so one could argue the story isn't the main focus and the visuals are, which it did really well at (in the most part).
