Tea for Two (2015)
I will keep this review short and sweet, much like the confection Tea for Two is
It's the small things for me in short film that make me go back for more works. And this short film is full of those small details that every film-lover appreciates, whether they know it or not.
First and foremost is the set design, subtly hosting your journey through this film and gradually setting you up for an ephemeral twist (one of those that isn't there to make you gasp, but smile, and smell tea leaves and carrot cake ah).
Look closely when you watch this mini masterpiece, watch closely and be transported into a world you didn't know you wished you existed in. (No, not a tea shop world, a world where certain 'inevitables' aren't inevitable)
Before I get carried away with the serious undertones that this film carries (and I could) I should mention that I did laugh, several times, it is a comedy.
Much of the fun and giggles come from Amanda Barrie for me (I love the irony, I love John Challis) and she has the performance of a wispy, slightly clumsy and loving wife down to a
tea (sorry).
This is a short film I wish I could've studied, I could write an essay. The film is theoretically layered for those who want to dive deep or for those who don't, ten minutes of giggles and 'aw' moments are guaranteed.
To be enjoyed with a cuppa and loved ones.
