MoreIndie Memento-esque short that starts an impressive career. Kudos to that. As a film, standalone, not so much. I’ve always found that ironically, the attention span issue holds for shorts more than features. source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/nug/

MoreAtmospheric and creepy. Dwindled some towards the third act once the cat’s entirely out of the bag with the “Bad Guy Turns Stupid” writing trope. A worthy watch despite this. source https://letterboxd.com/jun6lee/film/run-2020/

MoreIn a word, fascinating. It revels in quirk, which won’t be for everyone, but works for the premise. It juices the possibilities not only in its visual telling but also in reversals of event expectations — that too clearly on a relatively small budget. — The upside-down STC framework is also a rare thing.

MoreEnjoyed it more for the written craft and parts of it rather than the overall sum thereof. Had this not been known faces, perhaps it would have been less accessible but more impactful. I found this interesting. Liam with his particular set of skills comes with a certain set of expectations because of the brand […]
