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 loved the plot but the camera was not totally in focus and the lighting would have helped that. Overall the film was great and the acting was great.

This was an okay short film, towards the end the camera was losing focus because there was little lighting. But other than that I really like how you guys captured what it is like to what to impress you date. I felt like there was a symbol with COVID and masking yourself.

Funny!

I liked this movie, it was really funny and it was a great way to find a way to film during COVID-19. I think the editing and filming itself could use a bit more help, but other than that, this movie was entertaining and light hearted.

The film itself was awesome. I loved the use of black and white switching and the resolution of the story felt very satisfying. The lens losing focus did hurt the score though. Great for being filmed during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The story was plain, simple, and very well executed! The acting was pretty average, they captured a boy trying to go on a date with a girl, he then gets confused during the process. This is pretty real and I can relate to it pretty well, and learned in the end, just be yourself don't put a mask on to impress somebody you like.

Funny, yet meaningful

While I watched this, it felt a little humorous, but it portrays a true meaning. Nowadays, people try way too hard to be somebody they're not, just because they want others to view them as "better". The thing is though, there's no better version of you than you.

Creative way to make a film during covid!

Great job finding a way to make something fun and work together without being together. The flashback scenes were very entertaining. Ending would have really benefitted with more lighting so the lens doesn't lose focus.

Decent film, not all that great

The switching during sets was nice. I think making a fun, original film would be awesome. HOWEVER, it's not all that good. The ending was decent but not that good. Overall, I think it's an ok film that was created in a fun way.

This was a really good film I liked the overall message of the film; the acting was good, and the background music was good. But, the cinematography could have been better the camera was moving a bit to much and the camera was lossing focus.

This short film is quite cute, with a sweet little moral at the end. It had some pretty comedic moments as well. Nothing that will make you laugh out loud, but things that will give you a quick chuckle. However, the lighting could use some work. Overall, though, this short film is funny and sweet.

The film was funny and well made for it being made during covid. One thing to work on is the focus on the camera it could be more clear. Still a pretty good film non the less.

The title was good.

The story was extremely entertaining as well as the message was very important to a wide range of people. I loved the editing and the fusion of different shots. I wish the camera work was done a lot better, but in some areas the camera work helped with the story and the message.

It was funny, the story was lovely but the script does need work. I did like the editing and music, but the acting could have been better. The camera quality and cinematography was great.

The acting was a 10/10 you could feel the energy and the editing was also on point because it brought more life into the re-enacting dates.

I like the heart of this film. They captured what it is like to try and impress a girl and the confusion that boys go through in the process. The cinematography was needing some assistance as it was going in and out of focus and the exposures weren't quite there either. I give the writing high marks and it shows a nice depth of character to whoever wrote it.

This film captures what it's like to be in the dating scene. Oh how I hated those days. Never feeling confident. Never being able to be yourself. Until you meet that one! There were several technical issues with the film that undermined its true potential, but the story still connected with me.

Great Sincere Ending

When I started watching your film I wasn't quite sure about it but by the time I got to the end I quite enjoy it and the message you had. You had quite a few moments that if you had played them a little more straight forward would have been really funny and worked. Even though what he was wearing or trying to do would have been over the top, playing it a bit more subtle would have really worked. Comedy is a fine line but as you do more of it, you'll nail it. You've got talent. Keep making films

I liked how you ended it without seeing the person he was going out with. There were a few technical hiccups along the way, but this was a pretty well executed little film. The concept was solid and I think the filmmakers stuck to their vision really well.
