Why on earth is the film rated so low?
I just got done watching it and I thought it was well-crafted and nicely paced, with a powerful narrative impact and a very strong lead performance by the young actress playing Ashley. Some of the supporting actors were kind of hokey, yes, but overall I'd call it a very quality little short that did what it set out to do, and I won't be forgetting that ending for a long time.
So what gives? Are people who disagree with the film's message coming to its IMDB page to give artificially low ratings regardless of its actual quality, or what? That's pretty dishonest, if you ask me.
