My Ideal Review

What would it sound like if a critic gave me the best review I can imagine?
"After the first few short animations, there was a video that began by an artist Demetrius Markham. The video showed a character struggling through his life as he gained perspective of the lives of others due to a newly found super power. The video was visually compelling and well crafted. Every scene was carefully shot, placing me into the shoes of various characters. Every time that it shifted into this new world perspective, the colors, music, and atmosphere of the entire video changed, and I was able to really feel immersed in the situation of each character. The main character seemed to learn some lessons by the end, but it left me with questions as to where those lessons took him, and what happened to these other sub-plots and secondary characters. I have been thinking all day about what it all could mean.
Which leads me to my next moment of realization which came at the exhibition space. There was a video projection on the wall that extended around and onto the two surrounding walls of the space, expanding beyond the scope of my peripherals. I grabbed an item off the shelf, and followed the instructions on his prompt, and sat in the chair. I placed the headphones on my head and forgot about the rest of the world. It was an experience that completely immersed me in the minds of this other person."
