    The cinematography was outstanding.
    The ending was spectacular!
    And, while the plot was slightly worn and another 8 mins. could easily have seen the cutting room floor to tighten up the pacing, kudos overall to Seemab Gul (as well as to The New Yorker) for sharing a spectacularly well made short!

    Incredible acting and production, subtle, soundless, yet the anxiety of the character Zara was screaming, tormented and rebellious, yet conforming. Its a great capture of current perils of online, social media hookups, that can be disasterous for young girls. Congratulations to the young artist played by Zara, the cinematography and minimalist approach in dialogue.

    The dialogues are trite and the characters are one-dimensional. The classroom scene is a perfect example of bad writing.

    I really love the way New Yorker's Jessica Winter writes a pro Amber Heard piece and then leaves no way for anyone to respond to it. You are basically calling credible people like Jennifer Howell, and others who have nothing to gain, liars. I find this very interesting. It never serves to be one-sided. Open minded always wins in the end. This is how TNY will stay relevant.

    I have been trying to explain how dangerous interacting like this with guys is online to my niece for years. And I never felt like I got through, but having her watch this film, I think she finally understands more. I feel so much relief. Thank you.
    I wish schools would show this to all students.
