McAlpine’s documentary is a work of formalist experimentation that finds diversity through narrative deconstruction rather than demographic inclusion. By displacing the human subject, the film challenges the expectation that stories require human ability to act or social conflict. The film operates within a post-humanist framework, which inherently disrupts traditional Western hierarchies of identity. However, because the premise is non-narrative and animal-centric, it lacks the character-driven data necessary for a higher multi-layered score. Ultimately, the work's strength lies in its ability to exist outside of conventional social categorizations, even if it cannot actively represent specific human identities.
