This was hypnotic and beautiful. I found myself incredibly captivated by it although it's essentially plotless. The "Silly Games" sequence in particular is really stunning. Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn is also a lovely lead and I expect big things from her. A

The right word to describe this movie is "hypnotic". With no essential plot it works very well and whenever the plot does come it just a distraction from main proceedings i.e. rock and dance. Amarah-Jae St. Aubyn is really good here as the lead. The finale evokes the emotion of leaving the house at night without the knowledge of your parents.
