So this was nominated for and won the Academy Award for Live Action Short Film. So intriguing how they done it. Many spend a fortune to get one of those little Oscars, so what was so good about this low budget short movie? We have here 30 mins of mostly three sets of people with some tragedy in their lives which they reveal in one way or the others.
Brendan Gleeson is great as always as a brooding big guy, but this time with a burden to carry as big as a rock. On the other hand, the film is stolen by Rúaidhrí Conroy who plays a cold-hearted and motor mouthed young man with a dark secret.
It's mostly about the conversations between the characters. There is actually very little "live action". Some dark humour too.
Personally, I wasn't blown away by it. I don't know who the other nominees were but surely there were better out there.
Not a bad little short story movie, but nothing special in it that will want you to revisit this again.
