    This brings back memories of so many job interviews... We need to put on a mask to play a sick charade that even the interviewers know it's a sham. It's exhausting and soul crushing, even more when you know your life depends on it, as this Short clearly portrays. Well done, I congratulate the makers, this is a great tool to denounce the psychological abµse we have to go through to get a job.

    That was quite a tour de force there by Danielle Dallas Roosa going through the wide range of emotions for the character. The story and direction hits home too, reminded me of the apps we have to help us with our moods. Really great short, and love the open end in this case. I must admit too, I found Ms. Roosa quite fetching to watch as our main character.

    As others have said, very Black-Mirror like. The tech-gone-wrong theme has been overdone of late and "APPyness" doesn't break any new ground. Nonetheless, the film works, largely due to the performance by Danielle Dallas Roosa. A demanding role with quick-change emotions that could have easily turned into an over-the-top mess in a less-skilled actress. But Roosa straddles that fine line between dramatic and parody. Well done. The writing by Kathleen Roosa (the lead's sister) is excellent, if a little bland at times, and the direction by Ryan Turner provides a steady hand with minimal exposition and a free-flowing combination of humor, suspense and even horror, if taken to its logical conclusion. Overall, a fine film and a solid achievement for its Turner and both Roosas. 3.3/5
