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.

Great film, but some issues with it.

Acting is not the best but they have great potential of approving. The story was good untill the ending. I understand why the preacher wouldn't help the man who cheated on his wife, but leaving it like that and having no effect on the ending is kind of disspointeing. You could have it where the preacher got hurt and the man who recovered wouldn't help the preacher. Overall, great film.

I'm always amazed that anyone can finish a film in one of these 48 hour film festivals. This is is pretty well done.

An interesting short...

This short is high in creativity. Well orchestrated, and most importantly, engaging. The editing and music, pair with the sound quite well, and the one effect the film used towards the end looked great. The story made or sort of divine quality within the character appear, but it kept you guessing until it was confirmed in the end. Wonderful job.

This is so gosh darn good!

The lines (such as "the begging dog..." and "Heal thy self") were excellent and well executed. The hand cleaning wasn't addressed which was kind of confusing. But that being said, the leads acting was believable and on point!

Very excellent work

I think the film was great among everyone except the writer. Don't get me wrong, the writer did good on alot but not the direction of the story. We were introduced into this relationship dynamic that was interesting but when the husband was confronted by whom I think is the boyfriend, he just says "do it yourself" and then the husband saves a random individual and that's where it ends. If you had to redo this film, I ask that you make an ending.
