It's Lonely at the Top (2023)

Review by dawb-40897

It's Lonely at the Top

2/10

White has much room for growth...

As usual with his films of shorter running time, White jumps right into character's driving motivation but sets up no real dramatic premise. None of the characters are written as likeable in the truest sense, so it's hard to root for the success of the leads in the narrative. The film's tone is schizophrenic in its constant changing from scene to scene. Acting is more solid than I've seen in a Silk White production thus far though none could be called strong. Camera work not too bad though scene cuts/transitions are sometimes jarring. White still has the bad habit in his productions of feeling music/score has to play under the majority of the scenes. On top of that, some of the selections disrupt the scene's tone when edited in all of a sudden while others have a generic sound. I want to give the film an extra star just for Whitney Code being so fine but refuse to do so lol. On top of all else, we aren't even given a real resolution and it seems to have been crafted from the jump with the intent of being able to have a sequel. I do see White growing as a filmmaker but in small infant steps, certainly not leaps and bounds. At this point, it only seems that growth is coming simply from having lead multiple productions. Not my choice as one of his better projects.
