What I liked
I particularly liked the poetic structure and the way the voicemails were used to build emotional depth. The cinematography was beautifully minimalist at times, letting emotion carry the story without overcomplicating the visuals. The transitions between voice, silence, and music were well-paced, allowing the viewer to really sit with the message. Also, Bri Giger’s vulnerability in the narration felt authentic and brave, which made the piece all the more impactful.
What I didn't like
While the emotional impact was strong, some viewers might find the abstract style a bit hard to follow without a more defined narrative arc. Adding a little more context or structure—perhaps anchoring the voicemails with key events—could help broaden its accessibility. Additionally, the audio mixing could use a slight improvement in clarity during certain segments, Sprunki Game where background sound occasionally overpowered the words.
My overall impression
Voicemails: Through my Red Eyes is a raw and emotionally charged film that blends spoken word, visual storytelling, and music into a unique artistic experience. It feels intimate—almost like reading someone’s diary aloud with cinematic visuals to match. Bri Giger’s voice and perspective are deeply personal, offering a powerful narrative on identity, pain, and self-discovery. The film pushes creative boundaries and invites reflection.
