    Wasted Potential, Poor VOGUE Marketing

    Maybe I didn't get it? WTF? From what I know, VOGUE are a very well known company that produce clothing and other products and somehow I felt that the film was more an advertisement for the company itself than trying to develop its story which had huge potential, while at the same time the filmmakers hired one of my favorite actresses for the lead role, namely Alicia Vikander, for the simple reason that she is liked by many people around the world and thus this short film will have more views, therefore more people who will see VOGUE. COM written all over it at some point in the film.

    Posh.

    Genius idea. Alicia Vikander's character is sitting in some restaurant putting coins into some box that answers her questions. Maybe not super original, but super potential for sure. The story could be developed in a hundred ways, and with an actress like Vikander this film could be a masterpiece, but sadly not.

    It doesn't get anything right, it doesn't even try to be mysterious. Too bad.

    Not the worst short film tough. It's got a cool cast, a good idea and it's short. But that's it. It just hints at something cool and it's over.

    Final score: 4/10.

    Similar to Nick of Time

    This is similar to a Twilight Zone episode from 1960 starring William Shatner and Patricia Breslin. They play a couple stuck in a diner waiting on their car to be repaired. They ask a Fortune Telling Machine a series of questions which turn out to be true. Being longer Twilight Zone has more time to flesh out the plot
