When choosing to watch a student-made film, one doesn't typically expect to come across masterpieces, although sometimes there can be pleasant surprises. Despite tackling a challenging subject, this short film managed to make me laugh, not because it was bad, but rather due to the evident budget constraints that led high school students to portray the roles of parents with teenage children.
However, despite the poor technical quality and performances that may elicit amusement, the film remains watchable due to the intertwining of the two main characters' stories. It is interesting to observe how these young aspiring filmmakers and screenwriters depict school bullying alongside an unstable family situation and the pressures exerted by parents who compare their children, leading to sometimes disastrous consequences.
This film made by high school students is a testament to their creativity and dedication, despite the limitations they had to face. While there are aspects of technical execution and acting that could be improved, it deserves to be appreciated for the important themes it tackles and the evident determination of the young filmmakers to share their vision with the audience.
