That was an excellent one.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
The director for this movie came to my school to show off the first 10 minutes of this movie, and its pretty bad. The camerawork is amateur. There is an overuse of shaky cam. Using a handheld camera doesn't make sense if the shot would be still. There has to be a reason for the camera to move. The beginning of the movie is mostly dialogue-free, but the poor acting is still noticeable. The beginning drags and the lighting and music are pretty bad. I feel bad for the director, who sounded very passionate about this movie. If you're reading this, I'd just like to say that it might be a good idea to study filmmaking a bit more before you try making another movie. I understand that you had a low budget, but even then there are free videos on youtube made by teenagers that look more professional.
