This video featured great vocals, beautiful imagery; both hallmarks of a great music video. But it missed the mark for me on a couple of levels. First, if you are going to tell a story, make it something fresh (at least a fresh twist). We don't need retellings of history and all the trappings pf misogyny without hope. Women have felt this tale, lived this tale, throughout time. When you create a nee story within this theme, present some element of empowerment. This give the illusion of that, but it is just delusion.
Maybe they wanted a dark tale. But they could have spun it away from the cliche.

Five stars for halfway there
Leaves a lot to interpretation
In this movie the music works very well, but the little development of the story makes it a bit confusing.
The film does not fully develop the story or the conflicts, many things are left to the interpretation of the public, but what works phenomenally is the use of music, it is fascinating how each song fits perfectly with the moments of the story and with the way to perceive the scenes. Some characters are confusing, as is the way the conflicts were created. The performances are decent, the production design is good, the costume design is very compelling, and the makeup and hairstyle are good.
It is a film that can be perceived in different ways, I think it is not bad, but it did not dazzle me either, especially because of its not so developed history, but it can be magnificent for those who manage to interpret it in a broader and more concrete way.
Beautiful cinematography!
This is not what I was expecting. I was expected a film. This is a 50 minute music video . As an amateur photographer I can appreciate the amount of work that went into the cinematography of this video. The sets, location, the costumes, the lighting where all the beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't really care much for the music. But I am giving it an eight out of 10 for the work the photographer have done. Just be warned that this is not really a film. There is no real story. It is just an art piece.
