Uninvited (2017)

Sometimes short films get the message across better

Such a sweet short! I know that often people are hoping for a full-length version of shorts, but in this case 20 minutes are just enough.

Although this kind of story line is a bit exhausted, even clichéd nowadays (which is the reason I incurred 1 point), the message is still a positive one and was executed perfectly.

The acting of both the mother and the son was on point, conveying their feelings perfectly. The scene were they were talking on the phone - great.

The music subtly complemented the plot and the scenes.

I wouldn't mind watching it again (I probably wouldn't, because there are so many other films out there to watch) but still. Good job.

Short & Sweet

Overall: a 20 minute movie about a mom visiting her son who is hiding something from her. Make sure to watch carefully during the closing credits until the very end. Watched on Gagaoolala.

Content Warnings: none

What I Liked
- I thought it was funny how the mom started cleaning right when she arrived as I totally relate to this
- that the mom was not stupid

Room For Improvement
- it might have been neat for the mom to realize things when she went to the coffee shop but not say anything, just smile and drink her beverage or lay in wait to see who showed up after she left, but I was okay with how it played out (watch all of the closing credits!)
