This film has been described as a study in observation and immersion, with one critic deeming Brakhage as a "documentarian of subjectivity", who uses film techniques to "(give) form to his eyesight." This critic argues that the film's primary aim is to "sensitize each viewer to his own subjectivity". Some critics argued that the silent film style enables viewers to form their own interpretations and judgment on the subject matter. ==See also==
