Waiting .. room

I mean it's also a cleaning ... room of sorts I guess? But whatever the case, no pun intended for sure. The short movie is quite clever and very well told. The cinematography and the set design are off this ... world one might say! Really well done - add to that a really good and tight script and actors who know their stuff.

We may only have two individuals - and one location! But we do not need more! Especially when the story is really tight and knows what it wants and how to tell it. Attention to detail - home run in that department I'd say as with every other department! The short is suspension filled and it works really good if you like to be on the edge of your seat guessing what is happening ...

in a laundromat, a customer

Not the story but its construction represents the star of this short film about a young girl working, in night, in a laundromat, a customer and his dirty clothes, a clock starting no working, a nespaper and a sweet candy and, piece by piece, a story of late night becomes a sort of religious portrait of dark secrets, revelation, confession and option.

Indeed, in few aspects, a more than familiar story.

But not its familiarity is the axis but interesting duel between two characters, in which manipulation, frustrations and presumed options are fair used for define death and fear and destiny. In short, just a special Malibu story and a not so ordinary laundromat.
