Last Call

From the art style and the lack of fanfare (I had to put the year in to even find the right movie on IMDb) I was expecting the typical low budget, high concept offering with a bit of promise, using amateurish actors to create an ok movie, that's ultimately instantly forgettable. THIS MOVIE IS NOT THAT.

The one take aesthetic and split screen cinematography works just perfectly to convey the urgency of a serendipitous conversation between a woman in the right/wrong place and a man with nowhere left to turn. The acting from Sarah Booth in particular is astonishing (never seen her in anything before this), the dialogue is realistic and the soundtrack fits the mood just right.

I've never seen anything like it, the closest I can think of right now is Locke with Tom Hardy, but this movie is so much better and more heartfelt than that. I'll be recommending it to everyone I know. 9/10. (And no I'm not a paid reviewer or have anything to do with the production, look at my other reviews!)

I can't believe how well the director was able to sync the performances by the two lead characters. This certainly is a difficult task that should be celebrated! Great story and great performances by both main actors. Can't wait to see more from the director.

But it's short! Gimmick is great but it gets old really fast.

Amazing movie. It's so powerful and creative. I love the one shot split screen, as soon as my mind adjusted it felt like my eyes were "cutting"back and forth between scenes. Acting was top notch. Also, how did they match the shots so well? Feat of filmmaking.

I enjoyed the performances by the two actors. They both created believable characters. Unfortunately that was not enough to compensate for the pace of the film.

I got a little bored and lost interest after about an hour. Maybe if this was a short film, 15 minutes less than it's running time, It would have maintained my interest.

Perhaps I lost interest because the man is not a very sympathetic character, so I had a hard time really investing in the outcome. Yeah, I didn't really care what happened to him one way or another. The script didn't give me a reason to root for him to change. I suppose I don't have a lot of patience for a certain type of person with certain kids of behaviors.
