Catalina

Three men , old friends, together, in a sort of idylic vacantion. Confessions , freedom, plans, large slices of regrets, happiness and past.

Well acted, inspired storytelling. And admirable freshness. In fact, this freshness, giving to recognize yourself in situations and dialogues represents the main virtue of this profound touching short film, touching for the great honesty, high realism and the opportunity to discover and real feel each character.

A film about essence of friendship . Beautiful for the fair angles to see the essential things, love aspects , trust in pure form and return, very gentle , to past.

In short, just beautiful.

In the first few minutes of this film, we have yet another character answering his cell phone and having a pointless conversation. In this conversation, the main character is talking with his female friend and she is talking about "shi**ing out babies." That's what she said. Also, they use the F word within the first minute for no reason. I didn't understand why we were supposed to invest in any of the people in this. I found the film to be 100% pointless and irritating and unwatchable. The dialogue sounded like it was improvised, and it was improvised badly. So that was also a big turn-off.

When making a film in this day and age, you have to quickly engage the audience and convince them that whatever story you want to tell is worth following. In this one, three old high school friends meet up and go to Catalina Island. (I guess; I couldn't get that far.) They spend the first few minutes talking about drinking. It totally lost me, sorry.
