Some are real stories. Some are reels. Watch one, not the queue. Older children only.
Visions is an anthology, so it does not have one moral. The best shorts are about a master and a student, a village, a debt, a person who lays a weapon down. The worst are a style reel with a familiar sound effect. The desk will not give a single score to nine films and pretend they were one conscience. This score is for the project as it meets a house: uneven, sometimes serious, often a showcase.
Pick a short the way you would pick a story, not a planet. If there is a village and a choice, stay. If there is only a duel, you have seen it.
Live historically
After a short, ask what the person gave up. If the answer is nothing, it was a reel.

The eight
Industry
5/10
Craft is the studios' craft. Characters sometimes have a trade.
Household
4/10
A few shorts are about a house or a master. Many are not.
Piety
5/10
The Force is treated, in the better ones, as a discipline with a cost.
Courage
6/10
Sacrifice shows up. So does posing.
Republic
4/10
Villages appear and vanish with the short.
Temperance
4/10
Beauty is the appetite.
Truth
5/10
The better films tell a true cost. The project does not require it.
Stewardship
4/10
What gets handed on depends entirely on which one you do not skip.
