The film occasionally recalls the dreamlike fragmentation of David Lynch without simply imitating his style.

Meta Take One shows us what kind of quality results can come from work done with passion and true dedication. In our time, the people who deserve to be called "real filmmakers" or "real artists" are exactly the people who made this film.
