Aquatic Language starts well and is definitely intriguing for a while, taking place in some sort of bar or cafe and jumping quite suddenly between various conversations that are happening there.

It establishes a neat rhythm within almost no time at all, and I was wondering how long I'd actually be willing to go along with such a premise for. If done right, I think you could make something almost feature-length that just keeps jumping from one set of people to another every few minutes (maybe like Linklater's Slacker, or something by Jim Jarmusch like Night on Earth).

I don't think it ended as well as it started, and despite the brief runtime, Aquatic Language did still lose me. Oh well - it was good for a time, and still felt decent enough to be worth the watch.
