Mate P @matepolcz Oct 25 Doodlebug is quite outstanding for what it is. The special effects look really good, something I wouldn't expect for a low or no budget short film. The cinematography is also really good and I can see Nolan style in it. Lighting, camera movement and framing too. The score is simple, but great and with the help of the clock ticking, the phone ringing, it created some tension. Probably the best short film I've ever seen, I haven't seen many though. See more Benyamin M 11/09/2024 It's a bit weird but yet it's still Christopher Nolan, and I will always love his movies. See more Graham B 05/06/2024 Good, a well thought out mini twist but without an explanation it’s kinda weird. See more Shioka O 11/09/2022 just spend three minutes! already it is in his style. See more 12/29/2021 One of Christopher Nolan's earliest film projects, Doodlebug isn't as smart and as well-thought out as the man's future endeavours (it was clear he was inexperienced at this time and was still a student; from what I've heard, his first movie "Following" is very much a glorified student film) but it's use of black-and-white, ending that provides metaphors that make me happy that YouTube comments exist and use of mundane, yet still decent-for-its-tiny-budget make it a nostalgic look at Nolan's humble beginnings...and likely to give fans of his work further appreciation for how far he's come since then.
