Review This Film
Be a Critic Every film here was made by a student who took a risk. Your job is to engage with it seriously — rate the craft, write something honest, and mean it. Scores are blind until all reviewers are in. Nobody sees anything until everyone has spoken. That's the deal.

The Verdict Every score you see here was written without anyone knowing what the others would say. No groupthink. No piling on. Five independent voices, revealed all at once. Read the reviews, not just the numbers — that's where the real feedback lives.

I liked the music and the acting in this film. I thought the lead did a great job and really gave himself to the role. The concept was interesting as well. I would like to have seen the guy struggle more to get back to the water. I think some lights outside for moonlight or even a street light would have been beneficial as well. Still, these guys have talent for sure. Keep making movies!

You've got an interesting concept here. I like where you're going but keep going with it. I love the idea of the event of getting soaked and how that transports him to a bizarre world but it's just a little too cerebral for Hitchcocks style. That being said, if you would take it just a LITTLE bit further you'd be there. The Twilight Zone was often cerebral but it would always come around to a moral or theme that, though it might be bizarre it would be clear. Keep up the creativity.

I liked the concept of this film. I really liked that even the radio didn't work properly in the frozen time. I would love to see this fleshed out and made into a little bit longer short film where he can explore more of his world. Watch the show Tales from The Loop on Amazon for ideas. I can tell you spent some time putting this together, good job.

I really liked how well thought out your opening sequence was. You had several transitions in there that were really quite smooth. Nice work. A couple notes, small examples that could have really helped your story. Your editing choice to pan down & fade out when he's pushed in the water. What if that was a hard cut to the blue water and panics. That would have created a whole different feel and really moved your story along. Also, use lights at night...when he falls out of the pool. I missed it.
Time and Space

Nice play on time and space. You really took time to light certain parts and you probably ran out of time to light other. Some was a little dark and needed more light to follow the story. Every word of dialogue is critical and I felt that you could have used the banter in the beginning to really push the plot forward. Right now the short feels like a moment when had you really used that time in the beginning to push the plot forward it could have gone to the next level. Good work though.
