Julian S @akajulianscott Jan 19 A bittersweet short film powered by Hawkins’ raw talent. See more Jeff M 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 04/28/2021 Moving story. Excellent actress.
