Requiem

'Requiem (2021)' is a short film set in England during the witch trials. It follows a young woman who must navigate her homophobic surroundings, including her devout priest father, to be with the woman she loves. Though there are stretches that feel somewhat dull and the pace is generally rather slow, the picture has a convincing period aesthetic and an equally tangible atmosphere. It features several solid performances, with lead actor Bella Ramsey doing most of the legwork, and its ending is actually really affecting. It's a profoundly sad story overall, one that unfortunately remains relevant to this day. It's perhaps a tad too long, but its ultimate effect is worth the wait.

After seeing SO MUCH HATE towards them for bad acting and everything that's going on with tlou season 2, I was like okay! Let me see it myself and judge whether they're a bad actor or not. And this was my first short film that I was from Bella and all I can say that I'm glad I did watch this. Those horrible memes that are going viral rn about their acting, unfortunately makes you think that Bella is a bad actor. BUT after watching this I was shocked of how beautiful Bella conveys emotions and how they act. After this I watched the worst witch, time, becoming Elizabeth and more work from them but by far this film was the best and I cried at the end. I usually don't watch short films cause they're too short and rn I desperately want a full season with 12 ep just about Evelyn and Mary :))) in my head they're living happily ever after in their lil village house TT.
