Negative Positive
Title: Poignant & Funny
Review: A well-crafted short in which I especially liked the acting. Appropriately one-dimensional, the actors all created a visceral response: Lisa's natural sadness, Jenna rushing her funny one-liners as if perpetually late for a date, Ty's snaky smile and oily delivery. Kudos to the director for restraining them. The plot did cause me to scratch my head at a couple of points (bar scene with Ty and the ending) and the score was sometimes reminiscent of Dark Shadows. I recommend this as an amusing and sometimes poignant film.
