[@Rosewater-ho8]

hey I love this so much.

[@jinnking1755]

I have seen many movies believe me thousands of movies and this has got to be one of the newest movies I've seen ever the idea is original and priceless thank you so much WoW!

[@kathyd5225]

Wow! Absolutely amazing! I was hooked from the start! Great acting, the script, the lighting atmosphere, background...ALL of it! Thank you so much for this mini masterpiece!!

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Stop ruining every dang film with your thumbnails!

[@scottmiller6270]

What a great revenge story!! Around the 4 minute mark you can see in his eyes the realization of being caught.

[@johannahunderwood4596]

An excellent film, powerfully portrayed. This is one toxic relationship, one where the couple involved should really have separated from each other a long time ago, but for whom the cycle of betrayal and reunification produces intense emotions so strong that they can’t seem to let go. And I do believe that it is a cycle, one where they have physically and mentally abused each other and cheated many times. They play games with each other, and their relationship is not loving, but obsessive. The film also shows the conflicting emotions that women often feel when they have an abortion, especially when it is not something they really want. What is so sad is that when she walked into her home and probably needed some emotional support, her partner was having sex with someone else. Also, when a later-term abortion has been performed there are significant hormonal changes which can affect mood a lot. Seeing what she was going through at the clinic, juxtaposed with her experience at home was intense. This gets a 10/10 - an excellent film indeed.

Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

As soon as I finished watching I exclaimed to myself: perfection exists, here it is! Incredibly beautiful short film, everything perfect, plot, actors, photography, sound, soundtrack. Very good all of them.

[@alexmorera1383]

Plot ? There is no plot…boring and nosense

[@Rawlamb59]

@@alexmorera1383 I get it, you have boring taste that make no sense

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

@@alexmorera1383 no, there’s a plot. You just didn’t get it.

[@brentage5000]

Absolutely amazing short! The narration almost feels like it could be a freestyle poem adapted to video format, with the parts where they actually talk added for fleshing out the story. Fantastically smart and tense. Loved it.

[@ssinger67]

Hmmm... a few questions (spoilers so if you haven't watched it don't read further) .... What are some folks ideas of what actually happened? Is the mistress real or just a figment of the wife's imagination? She seems to just randomly vanish from the film near the end, but there are a couple of quick shots later on that are too dark to really discern whether they are the wife or the mistress, so maybe something happened to her? I know the wife kills him at the end (heck, most of the films on this channel with a couple end with the woman killing the man, so it would have been an upset if it didn't end that way) but not sure about the rest; was her plan just to kiss the mistress and things spiraled out of control? Or was pretty much everything just in her head -- there's certainly enough to imply that was the case.

[@bigseanprice]

i dunno, it was weird how it wasn't explained.

[@OhWell0]

oh my fucking god. Someone went through hell to get this plot. Thank you for keeping going. oh my fucking god. and congrats

[@JarodM]

Infidelity is one of the worst things you can do to someone who loves you.

[@000aleph]

I would have tought killing might be even worse

[@Mashy8722]

Aside from literal murder, I’d agree lol I’ve been in physically abusive relationships that don’t hurt as bad as being cheated on. Fr

[@texavery395]

Oh man. I wanted what happened to happen, and when it did I felt bad that it happened. Great short, what a mind bender.

[@sergiypudich]

Great movie, Alice! Congrats! Especially main actress - she is wonderful!

[@Sunlightcee]

I'm speechless but also loving how the actors play their character great

[@abductedbyaliens9425]

The trauma. Going through an abortion alone because you love your partner that much only to walk in one them cheating. All of that leaves behind mental, emotional, psychological and physical pain She kind of looks like Blake Lively lol

[@jomamamac]

Great DP work. Lighting and production augment story work and acting. So much done in a car and on one location! Narration was couched in backdrop of beautiful cutaways and tense shocking betrayal, that it became part of the landscape, not over powering as I tends to be. Great job.

[@seerinsultana5165]

This is actually what a revenge should be just amazing

[@einienj3281]

I actually wanted to throw up too, twice.. When she did and when she was in the car, on the phone and acted she hadn't come home earlier.. Great acting! 🖤

[@marlonmorrison8530]

Ever heard that saying hell has no wrath like a woman scorned yall guys better listen awesome job

[@chrollophile]

I've never felt this much emotion from a short movie before. Flawless!

[@cr9962]

Can someone please explain to me why her hands turned black? I got lost there. Thanks

[@laurarhodes8170]

They really didn’t. That’s why the “mistress” seemed confused when she apologized. She was losing touch with reality. She became overwhelmed with the events of her day & depending on how far along in her pregnancy she could be very hormonal as well. These 2 was the epitome of toxic!

[@cr9962]

@@laurarhodes8170 Oh thanks!!!

[@mervisa89]

I think it's also a metaphor for the guilt after aborting, like she "dirtied her hands" killing the baby, ence her stomach also rotting

[@JarodM]

@@mervisa89 That's pretty dark but probably an accurate interpretation. Best wishes~

[@sonicadsouza4579]

I don't understand this?.🧐

[@bigseanprice]

maybe the makers didn't either it seems.

[@paullevine1813]

After all she'd been through i think she let him off the hook way to easy . Sad premise to something that occurs way to often & she really should have taken him apart & his little hussy. Nice job on this & it is a sad state of affairs as love should never be this way.

[@Nina.VanRobiart]

More like this please, emotions, suspense, creepy-saddish stories.

[@jamesdeziel1468]

Such an honor and such an educational and fulfilling experience getting to work on this! It came out so incredibly well.

[@justgameingday4705]

Take this as a lesson boys and girls- Don't cheat on your partner ESPECIALLY in their own home !!!

[@brettzforeman]

Her partner is a failed writer who depends on her. He probably couldn't afford to take her anywhere else.

[@tessl6750]

This was SO GOOD

[@jm844]

I dont like guys or women like that at all , being able to commit and freely letting yourself become one with someone shouldn't be taken lightly . great story and commentary , hope it gives the message clearly to those who take relationships for granted .

[@ginidavid2902]

Wow!! I can't even think of a word in the dictionary that encompasses how powerful everything is. The actors, especially the wife's voiceovers, lighting, the camera angles... I almost felt like a voyeur watching it I was so sucked into it making me feel all her raw emotions and yet sorry for the girl "mistress" and I wanted to help hold him down as she took her revenge on certain "appendages"!! LOL I am definitely going to check out more of her work. There needs to be more females in the horror/thriller/suspense genre and I would nominate Alice Biletska in a heartbeat! Going to share this film as well as creator! What a way to start a cold, rain/sleet and freezing day, better jolt than my morning coffee!! 💖😍💞🥰

[@AllistorMichelle]

not exactly how i thought it would go. i thought there would be a twist that she was talking about the woman but no. then i thought "oh poison the food " but no. it was a let down in the end.

[@debbys-abqnm4537]

I thought how Sophie broke the glass with her hand (it got revenge by cutting her). She was in little if any pain. So maybe she was an outer space alien and in the end she'd strangle Will with her one very strong hand... but no. Okay, so Sophie represents wisdom and Will will do what he wants... Marsha... marshmallow? A push over? Whatever, a woman should consider taking a refreshing nap after surgery...

[@MISCELLANEOUSENTERTAINER]

One of the best!!

[@moniquevandeplas5210]

Also by the end I thought...shit she's done this before...as she took pictures of him and the girl had previously described her artwork as Brutal.

[@jaybat1184]

Hm. Well there are good and bad points with this one I’m sorry to say that overall it didn’t achieve what it seemed to be going for, a Lynchian sort of vibe. Although there were a few moments where I thought the story would take off in an interesting direction but all the opportunities were just neglected. When it comes to the acting though, and the cinematography, it doesn’t get much better so don’t give up. You’ll get it the next time around . Peace and love

Holy!. This short was INSANE, so eh first of all the main character well it was all in her head never seen that trope before 😒 So eh she was just paranoid the whole time about her husband and she just imagined what she eh thought she "heard" Oh and she was actually the cheater yeah she got an abortion cuz eh she had the anti christ inside her obv duh 😒 and Marsha didn't actually exist that was just a demon in main character's head. So that dude actually was writing and main character was reminiscing on their time's they used to spend together and that made her grasp for anything that could be used as ehh a reason for him to love her more, to fats her more. So ehm yeah she thennn killed him...? Yeah ofc, cuzz she couldn't stop being paranoid even tho he was only writing and she decided that other things got in the way of him loving her so she eh thought it was best for him to die yeah. OFC.
