Standout Aspects

Production

Lush gothic visuals for an 11-minute short—excessive in the best way.

Acting

Tom Mison and Rupert Friend commit fully to beautiful pathetic losers.

Costume

Keira Knightley's fairy looks like she murdered Tinker Bell for that dress.

Best for:Solo: Weird little palate cleanser between actual movies.·Streaming: YouTube deep-dive when you can't commit to anything longer.
Heads up:Disturbing: Repeated suicide attempts played for dark laughs—not for everyone.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Directed by twin brothers Corran and Arran Brownlee, because apparently sibling dynamics weren't weird enough already.

Cultural

This short premiered at festivals alongside similar 'miserable pretty boys in period dress' content that dominated 2009's post-Twilight gothic revival.
