Overall

Our Rating (81/100): Positive (Worth Seeing)

“Full Month” is your quintessential short. It throws us into the life of an interesting character, does just enough to establish their community and culture, and just as you get comfortable, likely forgetting this is a short, it abruptly ends, leaving you to say, “That’s it?”

Then, from there, you find yourself occasionally trying to see if an extended version, a full-length movie, was made to fill in the gaps of the lead’s relationship with their mom, further getting to see them play with their cousin like kids, or maybe have it where they end their trip with a better understanding of where and who they came from, so it doesn’t require special occasions to return.
