Subject: So so
I think that experimentally is very interesting, the technic used. The technical proposal is very nice. But is quite repetitive, a little bit bored.
On the other hand, doesn't tell any story at all, just people fuckin as in youporn. Well 4 stars for the interesting technic proposal.

Subject: Still nothing?
I find it interesting that the user kafkaesque has only ever left comments on comments by Pickleweasel on work by Raymond Salvatore Harmon. No other reviews of any work on Archive.org, just a long string of negative reviews for this particular user's reviews.

I would guess that kafkaesque either has some serious personal issues with the reviewer (or themselves) or that kafkaesque is the artist (Raymond Harmon) themselves trying to start a flame war.

But these comments are useless as any sort of constructive review. Take the childishness to youtube.

....maybe the videographer was working through personal problems!

Subject: A stunning film
As the description suggests, this film does blur the distinction between art and pornography, reappropriating found porn footage and looping and reinscribing it in an astounding manner. This is an incredibly beautiful film, and strangely moving.
