this is interesting! i really appreciate the curation. though it's coming at the material from the experimental theater world instead of early 20th century surrealism, it's probably closest to Buñuel's 'The Exterminating Angel'. i think it works best if you imagine the barrier trapping them in the house as similarly magical. i could see how it could be a frustrating film if you tried to watch it through a purely literal lens: why can't they get out the windows, why are they acting so unrealistically, etc. . it's probably best interpreted a little loosely.

I'm not one to crap on other artists, so I will just say that I think you should skip this one.
"Plenty of sunlight streaming through windows that have latches that could easily be opened inward to allow the dirt to pour in as we climb outside. But no, we're trapped! TRAPPED! And going crazy! INSANITY-LEVEL CRAZY! All in TWO DAYS!" I really liked Amanda Kramer's Please Baby Please but this was pretentious, idiotic garbage. Almost as bad as The Other Side of Underneath. The ending is laugh out loud stupid. It was two days but they acted as if they'd just been freed from a year in a brutal concentration camp.
Lord of the Flies, but with girls.
