There is too much potential in this film that has been untapped, characters were not fleshed out well and missed opportunities, most likely due to budget constraints and its run time that made it seem like a short film. There is something unfeeling or cold the way it was presented based on those limitations. Sometimes longer run time is necessary for a film and *The Artifice Girl *would have benefitted massively from it. I wouldn't mind seeing this again if ever they decided to do a remake; fire on all cylinders as a mini series or just do it again as a 3 hour movie.
