Reception
The "10-minute short, was less noticeable for its subject matter -- an argument between a man and a woman at breakfast -- than for its striking visuals: Lyne shot the film in extreme close-ups, so "you never saw the people, just their eyes and mouths and their hands stirring coffee.""[5], recalled The Washington Post.
