Buoyancy

Dude! This movie rocks! I loved it. So subtle and such great acting. Really intense!

It kept me on the edge of my seat. I had no idea the Dad from Home Alone was such an amazing actor and the other guy was just as awesome.

I go to a lot of film festivals and see tons of movies and this is one of the best I've ever seen. I saw that the lead wrote and directed it.

I want to find out what else he is doing or if they are going to make this into a feature. Does anybody know? Anyway, if you can find it online.

Check it out! Friggin' Awesome!

I already wrote this in the message board but I wanted to write a review because this movie is so rad! As my subtext says....this film is nothing but great. Wish smart wonderful acting and storyline..

i was expecting more melodrama...but it did not go there.

It was well calculated and a VERY interesting ride of story acting and and a twist that makes the short film genre completely take notice! Oh they should that is.. this is truly the best short i have seen in the past 12 years of being in LA.

So do yourself a favor and go see this film in the next film festival it plays in.

Rarely there has been a movie with such a good dark and chilling atmosphere. I even see this movie more as an horror movie than as a thriller because of that. "Buoyancy" is unique in many ways. The movies mood is already set right from the beginning on. The movie starts dark, intense, chilling and mysterious, a mood that is present throughout the entire movie. The mood is set by good camera work and lighting, or better said, the lack of it. The music from acclaimed composer Gareth Coker also adds to the chilling atmosphere.

Unlike many other movies from the same genre, the movie is slow paced and takes it time to develop the characters without falling into some obvious cliché's. The movie is filled with a seriously sickening torture scene, this seriously ain't no kids stuff! Dark and chilling movie that you will never forget also thanks to the ending which I will not spoil for you. A real must see. 10/10

I recently saw this short at a film festival in Los Angeles and was blown away. I have noticed it listed in other festivals as well and to no surprise it appears to be doing well. Great performances by the cast. Ryan Surratt and John Heard play off one another like the pros they are and create in incredible tension that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is gripping and action packed, especially for a short film. It left me wanting more. The cinematography and coloring really drew me in and very appropriately set the tone. This is truly a must see and I hope all good things for these great filmmakers. I look forward to seeing more from Surratt and Kemp.

Great film at the New Hampshire Film Festival. I'm still getting the kinks out of my neck. :)

So INTENSE and RIVITING! Best acting I have seen from John Heard in quite some time and the other guy was fantastic. Great short film.

It has this very eerie quality to it. You are not quite sure who the bad guy is until the end. I won't spoil it.

A lot of nice twists.

Great actors do the simplest uncomfortable thing in a movie it can be so effective. I think less is more. This movie is so simple but also very effective.

It'd be interesting to see where this could go as a feature film. That would be a cool indie feature!

10 stars all the way! If you can get your hands on it check it out! Surratt is an up and commer people should look out for.
