Pudge

This is one of the best shorts I have seen so far. A good theme, full of sensitive and emotional interactions and wonderful cast. The plot is well thought and story line flows easily. However, the concept has makings of a feature film instead of a short. The story is ripe with deep issues, which can be more fully explored. It was a good tasting experience rather than a feasting. The actors are a bit stiff at times and emotional resonance is missing but fortunately it does not hamper the premise. The director should have paid more attention to tap into the emotional depths of her actors as well, motivating them to excel their characters, achieving an exemplary performance. All in all, it's a great little gem that I recommend highly to all classic movie buffs.
