They should make a entire movie just to include this in the end.

Wow. I think... This is one of the most emotional and most powerful short films I have ever seen. And I watched a damn lot.
Watched it twice in a row and am still crying. Sad and beautiful and sad.

I´ve been binge wathching shorts for about 4 days now... watched thrillers, horror shorts, comedy, etc etc... and then I came to this one.... gotta say it´s my favorite so far.

I saw a million stupid films with million views. This one is so emotional..

Made me cry in 3 minuets, that's what filmmaking should be. It impacts the viewers and sucks them in.

I can safely say to the director, actors and crew, you sure made that work. There were all manner of leads as to where the story could have been going right to the final moments. Then the final reveal was a real ambush. This is how films should be written and made.

Regardless of how many times I watch this, it still hurts me as this is the reality of the world where conflict is still occurring somewhere out there and you can’t do anything about it as a civilian, and families are torn apart by these cruel atrocities

Now this is how one says what can be said in 2 hr in just 3.5 minutes and still moves the audience as much...

An incredible job to create such an impact from such a short piece. Very Well written and the build ups subtlety is spot on with a very well executed finish 👌🏻

I guess this is the greatest short film on YouTube. I never expect that ending

I’ve never had anything hit me so hard in less than 4 mins I will never forget this film... everything was beyond perfect here- the story and the way it was told on the phone- scenery and even the actors- it felt so real and so heartbreakingly beautiful yet painful too. Wow. Just. Wow. Incredible piece is all I can say really.

@HiSpeedz 8 years ago

To be able to produce a emotional response in such a short amount of time...incredible.

I don't remember crying this hard over any movie in a while. SOBBING. For a guy brought up in the boys don't cry generation, this is quite a feat. Thank you for that.
