    This is how short movies should be!

    This is how Short movies should be made!

    I saw this one and i found it hilarious! It tells a very simple story, using only 3 locations, Four actors and less than 10 minutes on-screen-time, but it is better than the 24-hour crap they broadcast every day on television.

    Fait d'hiver is funny and very well made, It very well deserves that Academy Award!!

    Gimmicky

    This movie was short n' sweet and very well made--it really showcased the director's skill. But I thought the premise was gimmicky and annoying. The little girl was very cute though! I've never seen such a cute little girl!

    Funny yet messed up

    Not for kids. But this one shows a man (who is swearing in traffic), and asks his daughter how was everything going. And the daughter tells the new, thus getting him shocked, and kind of messed up. Creative, silly, and this one will get an R rating by the looks of it. How could this short from France get nominated an Oscar (even though it has nudity and gore, not to mention really strong language). Oh well, it is good.

    Surprising and Entertaining!

    This short film is so interesting and surprising. In a night, a man is annoyed with a traffic jam, and then he is about to call home. A girl says her mother stays with an uncle Tom, who he doesn't know. As a scene goes, this film builds a tension and is in a control of our feeling. This film makes me thrilled. I'm hooked from the beginning to the end. In the end, the man leads a tragedy. It is fun to imagine that how the man would feel and what he would take an action after that. I think that it is a perfect ending.

    A mistake makes big accident

    Tjis movie begins with the scene that a father calls home to talk to his wife in the car, but a daughter puts the call. When the father hears the name which he does not know, doubts to his wife suddenly arise. Thsi movie goes on through the conversation between the father and the daughter. This movie includes the element of a tragedy which is caused by the father's mistake. Fist of all, I was interested in the innocence of the daughter. The father doubts the wife's love affair, and he asks the daughter to confirm it. The daughter is really pure, so she does not know what happens in the house and whether the affair is good and normal or not. The innocence highlights the guilty of the affair and the adults. It was also funny to see the father's expression when he knows the truth and fact. I cannot forget his expression because his face is filled with agitation, regret, and confusion. I like this movie since the ending of this movie greatly tell short of my expectations. Finally, I cannot anticipate the end of the two people who do the love affair. I enjoyed the suspense, and I was attracted by it.
