This short film was an overall creative success.
Standing up for what's right, she's met with miraculous results. She takes charge of her own destiny.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
