Konterr Brilliant and touching

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kirpianuscus A simple film who could be defined as motivational. in fact, it is more. a pledge for small gestures. delicate /brave words. about the change using simple tools. about honesty. and about the importance of the other. nothing complicated. but usefull. for the message. for the tears of the end. for the basic lesson about ordinary things - briks of every day reality. a nice film. and that is all.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This goofy little short-film directed by Kurt Kuenne starring T.J. Thyne from Bones teaches ourselves should not miss any occasion for a nice warm smile and always inspire others around us to keep smiling. While it initially starts as a feel-good movie about a parking attendant who gives his very individual kind of validation to his customers, it ends up turning into a cute little, initially tragic, love story. The one person he wants turns out as the only one whose lips he seems incapable of putting a smile on.The fact that it was in black and white added a lot to the charm for me. I'd recommend this short film to everybody who wants to end his day on a high note after a stressful day at work. It will make you smile :)

lvlv52 I know. It's MY LIFE that's real, not movies. Movies are just a shadow on the wall, and you can hit STOP any time you feel like it. But I'd somehow managed to befriend Kurt Kuenne after being wowed by his "Shuffle," and had to see the rest of his resume. Unfortunately (for ME, since I've been an emotional wreck for decades), next up was "Dear Zachary," BRILLIANT but WAY too disturbing for the likes of moi. That was a month ago, and I haven't slept right since. Kurt actually apologized. But HERE was the best of all possible apologies..."Validation" was, simply, the most life-affirming 16 minutes of celluloid I've ever encountered (and please believe me - the celluloid I've encountered could reach to Pluto from here). I won't relate its story - a 2-line synopsis can't do it justice - but I do feel the need to convey that this is 16 minutes with the power to HEAL. And you'll laugh while healing. And I think maybe my poor battered subconscious can be talked into letting go of that psychotic witch from 'Zachary' that had sunk her claws in DEEP. Thank you, Kurt. This slate is CLEAN.

Drew A.G. Engman I can't add to the two superb previous comments about this short film. I just watched it again, and yes, tears spilled from my eyes, tears of complete overwhelming appreciation for this moral fable, this poem to the positive in people, and to love. I teach preschool age children with severe special needs, and seeing this the first time had me by the heart, weeping profound tears of gratitude. It helped me realize that a large part of what I do, and have always loved to do for my kids and their family's is to simply appreciate the greatness it takes to go through their lives, made difficult from having unexpected horrors happen to their little children. To put that into words sincerely spoken is very touching and does indeed change people for the best. I just forwarded the Flixxy link to another very large group of friends who also work in special education. Every superlative applies to the wonderful magic of this film.
