Another mirror-gazing dysmorphia arc—the premise screams Sundance submission box, and I'd normally pass, but two minutes means they either nailed something or failed spectacularly, and I'm morbidly curious which.
The formal restraint of a two-minute duration working against the expansiveness of identity crisis is a deliberate formal choice; curious to see whether Jacques and Patois earned that compression or just truncated a fuller impulse.
In 120 seconds, the question isn't the premise—it's how they've chosen to visualize the rupture between self-perception and external gaze, and whether a single edit or sound design decision lands that dysmorphia in the body rather than just naming it.
