Freeform Review:
This dance film brought me on the journey of a couple in different stages of their relationship as they traverse new locations in their house and look back on memories.
There was a play between when the camera would lead the audience and when the movers would lead the camera.
The work was full of intimate partnering, which brought about feelings of care, longing, regret, and a kind of homesickness that can happen for a person.
My favorite section of the work was the flashbacks where the two were moving from door to door in a hallway in little vignettes in a way that reminded me of the chase scense in Scooby Doo.
At the end of viewing this film, I left with a question for myself: "How do the people I love love me? And is that the way I need to be loved?"
