Comments

1. Tracey Smith An effective short drama, which was kept to exactly the right lenght. Well thought out shots. Well done.
2. rebelrouser (2002-02-01) looked okay, predictable no suprises here. Actors somewhat wooden, dialogue on the nose, nice Music
3. Guy Press The dialogue & script are totally wooden eg "shall we go for drinks..." / However the shots were nice
4. Kye Slayton Not Bad
5. Jon Hambly-Walker (2001-12-08) Predictable, an ok short.
6. Daniel Richardson (2001-12-02) I came on the internet looking for something to get ideas from as an aspiring actor and this film helped me a lot...Thanks Guys!!
7. Chris Walton  (2001-09-14) Very Impressive Work!
8. ANIL YADAV (2005-07-04) I THINK ITS A STORY OF MISUNDERSTANDING AS WE SEEN IN BOLYWOOD CINEMA (INDIA)
ANIL KUMAR YADAV
VARANASI (U.P.) INDIA
9. Richard (2002-03-08) excellent - found by chance - just excellent
10. Sanjay Shelat (2005-08-11) Wonderfully reflective - Real Feal.
11. Kamuran Aydin (2002-03-08) great frames, there is something missing with ending ,is it no?
12. tommy (2002-05-23) ya~
Very good movie.. Um....
;)
13. James DeMarco (2002-06-29) A sweet short. Music spot on. Needed a little more depth, meaning. But points for tacking a difficult and seldom seen (in short film) genre.
14. Rob Marni (2003-03-11) Good use of camera, music a little intrusive and repetitive.
The actors have no real life and don't add that extra depth the film needed.
15. foddy (2004-12-13) reminds me of the time i went to waterloo station to pick up an envelope and got arrested for running across the tracks.
16. Harry Kumra (2002-11-05) Very good idea with some good shots, the script was weak and needs attention! medium effort.
17. chris (2003-01-28) Poor script spoiled the film as I found the shots, acting and soundtrack to be of a high standard.
18. Ian Wannabee (2003-02-22) Nice photography, music, and editing but rather a disappointing story line.
19. Claire Wilson (2003-03-09) ok... music was good but didn't really fit the sense of the story. Storyline was a bit unrealistic.
20. James Galvin  (2003-05-19) Photography and sound were excellent. The most important thing is the script, very predictable. Acting: Average. Script: Terrrible
21. harry (2003-05-14) I think It Is Good work The Narrative is clear.

22. Alastair Campbell (2003-07-17) Like the film very much....good editing, poor lighting. Overall Love the film....well done.
23. adhish (2004-07-30) vvvv good
24. foddy savva (2005-09-21) just watched it for the 2nd time and it feels as though i got a lot more from it. almost like watching a feature length screening. better 2nd time around.
25. Goran Radich (2003-08-22) Too long - very slow pace. Excellent sound ... bad lighting.
Then the two glasses and the way they are taken away - smart ending.
26. Eddie Rex  (2005-09-08) Ok the acting was adequate, the script and picture could be better, however the music was very effective to convey the mood of film. So, not bad at all.
27. kamarn rauf (2005-06-13) I thik the director need more Experince befor he step further.... i got bored halfway, which is 3.5 min
28. Noddy (2005-07-14) Good basic idea but need much tighter editing to give it more pace. Come into those shots later and leave earlier. Don't need to seem them entering the pub, sitting down, him getting up, walking to bar etc. Just them in pub, her at table, him at bar, then him seeing her missing. Acting was a bit ropey. Lighting - well the norm for so many short films. Sound very good though and thoughtful ending. Despite all that feedback enjoyed it but would have been better at around 4-5 mins
29. NICO QUWWAPRODUCTIONS  (2006-05-06) I thought it was well thought out. Simple yet concise.
