Surprisingly Offbeat and Clever
Could've been so much better
Oh, what a pity... This could've been a really good film, actually. I thought it had some intereting ingredients: an intriguing story about love and loss, coping with the consequences of the choices we make, the price people pay to follow their calling or achieve success, handling regret, all charmingly sprinkled with a touch of existential pondering. Also, a great match for the lead role and good supporting role actors.
I don't know what else was wrong about making this film besides apparently very little funding. Poor directing, editing, camera work? A dire need for more close-ups? Different camera lenses? A little bit of everything?
Also, it was disappointing to see the lead actors' potential squandered in a chaotic feature, on roles that could've been much better.
Needless to say that the final product turned out pretty mangled and felt a bit dull. Too bad...
