Directed by Kate Strafford from a script by Martin Keady, this low budget short film achieves its purpose in its message of letting go – delicately captivating the emotional complexities that grief bestow on people. Narratively the film holds strong, unfortunately the cinematography and loose editing weaken its charm. Kaitlin Cusack (Mary) delivers a praiseworthy performance – particularly during her vocal rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’. Érin Geraghty (Loretta) rewards us with moments of comic relief and emotional vulnerability. These two female leads make a solid partnership and evidently support each other’s qualities on screen.
