Review Time: this film is good

Warning: there is a component of cancer and small amount of flash photography in this film

Fundamental elements: there are words on screen, voice-over elements, background music, cultural elements, mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; this is one of those films that consistently moves, but it does lose its pacing at some point for a little while, but it does find itself again; basically when this film is moving it is fine, but when it either slows down or feels like it has stopped moving then it can come off as boring and not doing much.

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is good; the back stories come to us the viewers via voice-over, newspapers, mental imagery and in the dialogue exchanges.

Artistic visions/Comedy level: so just before I begin this section I should just give you a heads up; I will be discussing the dark comedy element now in this one example these two elements work hand-in-hand, so we are in mental imagery and we have our lead character/performer having this dialogue exchange with this coma baby whilst he is still inside his Mother and from an artistic perspective it looks excellent and in this dialogue exchange you have this baby saying "I can't hear you, I can't hear you" when you can quite easily here our lead character/performer.

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are good; as our lead character/performer will learn if you don't deal with things eventually they will catch up with you in one way or another and likewise for the performances they are good as well; there is good chemistry/friction, yes depending where you are; is depending what you get at that point in this project.

This film receives: 7/10, now after everything is said and done this is a fair reflection of this project
