Nice short, shame about the plot

Even if the viewer gasps from the outset of this short film that the boys' father is making crystal meth (which is not made explicit), the storyline is still disjointed and unconvincing. I guess the climax was intended as a cliffhanger; unfortunately it dives nose-first into the ocean of oblivion.

That's a real shame, because this piece features some excellent cinematography and great acting from the two lead characters.

I've given it a 5* rating but in no way is this an average film. It's 2* for the screenplay and 8* for the direction and performances.

Mustn't grumble, though, since it's been made available for free streaming on Vimeo and is certainly worth watching.
