E' un film molto delicato, che ci introduce nella vicenda gradatamente, presentandoci prima gli effetti e poi le cause. Girato in poco più di tre mesi, facendo larghissimo uso della camera a mano, con stile più da videoclip musicale che da film classico e un budget ridottissimo, offre diversi spunti interessanti tanto nei contenuti e nel modo con il quale vengono presentati allo spettatore, che nella tecnica. La regia è sicura, vivace nonostante i frequentissimi cambi di scena, o le lunghe inquadrature "sulla tristezza" dei personaggi.
