    Fiasco

    I give "Fiasco" nine stars! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the short film. 'Fiasco' keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. The actress that plays Nora encounters many situations in a very short period of time. The different situations she encounters directly relates with the title and the number of people and personalities she has to deal with. "Fiasco" has a title that is very literal and that is one factor that makes this a unique film. Similar to a longer film named Liar Liar staring Jim Carey. Jim Carey's character did nothing but lie in the beginning. The theme of the movie and the title are in direct relation similar to 'Fiasco'. This short film leaves me with a feeling of curiosity.

    Well done.

    This is a short film, which means action-action-action. And the film delivers it very well. Everything happens inside the home of the film's main character. Noura is faced with a problem, she's looking for a solution, but there's no much time... She faces the problem head-on, and she follows through with it. Does she solve the problem? Well, it's not clear, but that's the point. It'a fiasco, and a turbulent outcome of her worst fears. She's brave to admit who she really is, and what she wants to do, but this admission brings her to another (ultimate) obstacle: INS. Enough for a short film, and clearly a good model for a feature film. "Fiasco" delivers an entertaining punch.
