INTERESTING TWO-CHARACTER DRAMA WITH UNSATISYING ENDING
June 29, 2023
I WAS VERY INTRIGUED BY THE SITUATION OF THE TWO CHARACTERS: ESPECIALLY WHEN CASEY THOMAS BROWN'S CHARACTER TALKS ABOUT HIS EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH A NON-BINARY PERSON, AND WHEN POORNA JAGANNATHAN'S CHARACTER TALKS ABOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH AN EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE FATHER. MS. JAGANNATHAN AND MR. BROWN BOTH SHOWED THAT THEY WERE CAPABLE OF CONVEYING THE EMOTIONAL DEPTH OF THEIR CHARACTERS, AND DIRECTOR MEGAN GRIFFITHS MADE THE CHARACTERS' RECOLLECTONS EVEN MORE POIGNANT THROUGH THE CONSTANT USE OF CLOSE-UPS. BUT, WHEN WE LEARN THAT MR. BROWN'S CHARACTER DOES SOMETHING INSENSTIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL TO MS. JAGANNATHAN'S CHARACTER, THE SITUATION GETS RESOLVED TOO QUICKLY IN ORDER TO GIVE THE FILM AN UNCONVINCING HAPPY ENDING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE IF THE FILM HAD ENDED WITH THE SITUATION STILL UNRESOLVED.
