Rita (2009)
Simply one of the best!
This is possibly the best short film I have watched! The camera focusing on just the girl's face with a myriad of expressions was a genius. For the first half of the film, it is difficult to comprehend what's going on. I could not make sense of the singing, the hand, the conversation. After the girl is "released" from her bond, we really know what's the movie is about. Instantly, sympathies vanish and the audience hardens, and then again there is a reversal in the last scene. I could not remember a single moment when I did not feel I was not in the movie - it was totally absorbing. The slow deliberate actions heighten the tension, and the ending is really mind-blowing. Masterpiece!
Clemency (2010)
Disturbing and realistic
This movie was really good - one of the best short films I've watched. Through the movie, the suspense was intense and almost like a real life story recreated in film! The actors were good, casting was superb, the camera work was superb as well, deliberate, though the ending could have been more subtle. Some of the scenes reminded me of other movies, so a few less points for lack of originality, and bit more tautness would have made it more gripping. Poe's characterization was done very well - what a monster! Only scope for improvement: more subtlety - there is no need to give the viewer too much, little is a lot! Overall, good job!
