Natheo G @RT00091814 May 20 " The phone call" it’s a movie producted by Matt kirky . The short movie is very sad . The actors are : Sally Hawkins , Jim Broadent and Edwards Hogg . In this movie , I have two mains characters ; Heather and Stanley . During the movie , Stan called Heather because the man was stressed and very sad . The woman wanted to help the man . In the back of Heather , I has her colleague , this man call a person . The woman wanted to help the man during all the film . I find this movie is very curious and intrigant because the man on the call is very suspect and not told a really information of him . The main character Heather is very kind and helpfull because is his job . The end of the movie is very bad because we dont understand after the man leave the phone call . I think I can much like the film if the end was not speed and much explain and have much détails to understand . I think this movie is a 6/10 for this movie . But the movie is very good for the pupils who liked a sad films.

Likable characters and very well written. See more David B @Pippa073 Feb 21 That was a hard watch. Incredibly moving. See more Julian S @akajulianscott 01/19/2025 A bittersweet short film powered by Hawkins’ raw talent. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/17/2024 This 20-minute film won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short. In the spirit of such feature-length greats as MY DINNER WITH ANDRE and MASS, this is yet another example that characters simply sitting around talking can be as riveting as any number of visual stimuli. And this is an even more extreme example as we only see one of the two participants in the conversation. I suppose it's a testament to the vocal abilities of Broadbent that we come to care about the outcome of his character despite never seeing him face to face. This is the ideal material for a short film as too much of it would either come across as masochistically tense or ultimately monotonous. See more Read all reviews
