Good storyline for a short movie

Towards the ending of the movie, it became interesting. The beginning and the middle seemed stretched out.

Noah, a young woman living in Beirut, is getting married in 15 days. It is the end of summer 1976 in the midst of a civil war where everything is doomed to change.

"Noah, a young woman living in Beirut, is getting married in 15 days. It is the end of summer 1976 in the midst of a civil war where everything is doomed to change."

Stray Bullet is a poetical film in my opinion. One that won first prize at the Dubai International Film Festival. It is a film that dwells on social issues and critiques a status quo with finesse. It is a film that tackles subjects such as the marital institution, autonomy within the context of a civil war. A war which does not take centre stage and yet affects every part of the narration through its lingering shadows. Skewed camera angles and an intricate sound design in addition to the 16mm grain, create a sense of disorientation and anxiety and make us feel as though we are experiencing the character herself.

Confusing and silly

This film starts by inserting the viewer in a story that's already begun. No context is provided for the characters so viewers have no idea of who is who or what's happening. The movie is extremely low budget and grainy, looking like something filmed with a Super 8 camera. In short, it's completely unwatchable, pointless and disappointing.
