Homemade

1st episode: a boy is filming with his private drone through the windows of strange houses... I am astonished. Were all these people asked for agreement and permission?! I am glad this isn't allowed in my country; at least yet. Whatever, most episodes just come across as "wannabe artistic", boring or nonsensical. Tried to watch all 17. Episode 3, 12 & 13 I liked most. 3 & 13 are quite touching and memorable. They deserve a 10. Episode 12 is somehow creepy and interesting. therefore all in one 4 stars.

I was perplexed by the fact that Netflix even considered these "short films" for showing to the general public!! This is a bunch of home video footage, which lacks everything what cinema must have. No narrative, no message, no editing, no decent camera work, no creativity, and no acting! The domesticity of some sequences made me uncomfortable at times. People are making much better videos on youtube. This is an embarrassment for a short film genre:( And these videos say nothing about what this pandemic has been for all of us.

Reading the description, I expected to be boring but it was worse then I thought. It's not even that creative ...

Netflix held a Worst Short Film contest...and everyone won. It's so bad I'm not sure what to say, just horrible throughout. And to the only other comment, talking about the third episode...I was interested because I have a 5 year old. That had to be the most disconnected and empty 4 minutes ever put on film. I'm giving it an extra star because I guess they tried.

I have only watched three so far (Kristen Stewart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Natalia Beristain), but they were excellent. I think it was an innovative idea in the time of social distancing and coronavirus to make short films. I enjoyed the artistry, the stories, and perspectives.
