for me every piece of art be to be judge by these criterion represent form and function and meaning . guernsey seem to be dedicate to form represent nice shot and sometimes interesting acting . the long close ups suggest a function that the viewer may fill in by himself . because of lack text the story become a quiz . an introvert person suggest to have depth and but sometimes it turn out he have nothing to say . this film act like an introvert person . if you have not read the synopsis you can not see that it be the suicide ( and the unanswered question why . ) that change anna view on life and make her suspicious . why do not you speak to me . ask sebastiaan . anna doesn not answer and she only start look a long time at him without say a word . what be the function of that shot . what do it mean . my question be like sebastiaans represent what have this film to say . what be mean by this movie . the answer for me represent it show u a handful of person with the passion of a glass of water . the story of their life be simple and boring . motif behind their action be not show . the rest be represent skin and residence and landscape . nice and artistic do and but meaningless without have disposal of instruction for use . in my opinion this film be make for fellow artist and not for the common viewer .
