| User ReviewAndrew NThis is a slow burn movie that takes you on a journey to possibly a different dimension where we watch Lernert and Rola walk across a desert, sometime in the near or distant future, to find the mythical Crystal Lake, with a little help from a disembodied robot head. Basically, nothing happens but the way nothing happens is brilliantly done and our two protagonists hold the story together easily and skilfully. You are interested in them both and hope that they reach their goal despite the probabilities being against them. The direction is light, and awkward silences or quiet moments are allowed to linger, sometimes uncomfortably but correctly so. It is not a movie you'll watch and come out feeling renewed or ready to conquer the world, but this is a story that will linger, especially with me, for quite a while. If only just for it's simplicity and dreamy quality. They don't make movies like this anymore, I don't think they ever did. |

| User ReviewStefano CEnjoyable little story-metaphor. The feeling you get when the water starts flowing makes it all worth it? Maybe just enough so. |
| User ReviewKarin KThere are sci_fi elements in the story, and indeed it appears set in a sci-fi framework but, au contraire, this is a really just about a disconnected young man who finds his significant other and so is disconnected from disconnection, no more, no less. It ascribes to that proverbial bit of thinking that "if only I could find a mate, all my problems would be solved." If only the relationship explored could've shown what he got in exchange for giving up his singular video game, other than the woman choosing him too. Slow going for a bit set in a desert. The actors are competent, only lacking material with which to work. |
