Seldom did a character appeal so quickly to me. Friendly, bit shy, yet not stupid and readily accepting the strange phenomenon that he witnesses. Though the story slows down after a while, it does create a simple yet elegant and believable character arc (I actively start to abhor this phrase). 

SFX guys did sometimes do a bit of a sloppy job on the freeze-time moments during which the eyes of aforementioned girl vibrated quickly horizontally: the tiny red veins in the corner of her eyes stayed steady. At least I know where my nystachmus comes from.
