      Amanda S. This movie is astronomical, Martin Scorsese is so talented and I am so happy that I had the pleasure of meeting him THREE TIMES! This movie has got me through such hard times, I don't know where I would be today without it. The cinematography, the acting, the water faucet dripping just a bit really added to the ambiance of the production. Martin. What a man you are! Sincerely, Freda and Hilda Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Logan J I understand that it's a metaphor for the Vietnam war, however, it was very horrific for what the film actually portrays. I was thinking less about how it connects to the war and more time about ways to not look at the screen. This is a prefect example of when gore goes too far Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review emiliano J chido, pero le falto Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Yash B "The Big Shave" is 5 minutes of total discomfort and tension. I'm not sure what it is, but this short is so fascinating. I think it is one that could spark discussions and could represent various analogies, which shows Scorsese's ability as a director at a young age. The short film shifts about halfway and becomes a queasy watch, but nonetheless a fascinating one. Overall, it is impressive how this short film is so impactful with so little and I think it is worth checking out for anyone who likes to dissect minimalistic cinema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Courtney K hmm; weird & interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Joshua C didn't like it.... didn't like it at all.
