If it had a bigger budget some of this film's flaws might have been fixed. Thankfully, it was short. I thought about rating it lower, but for a movie made on a shoestring budget it had heart.
Yes I watched it on prime and the subtitles were so confusing.
If it was cheaper, they likely did. I was just grateful there were some sort of subtitles, but would love for it to be properly subtitled. I tried watching an old Japanese film on YouTube that had auto generated subtitles and had to stop, I couldn't make any sense out of what people were saying, and the titles lagged behind the person who was speaking making it even more confusing! I managed to make it through one really old film with auto generated subs but it gave me quite the headache deciphering them as I went along.🥴
My rating went down because of the final twist. I could go with the twisted revenge up until then and then they lost me. The production values and tight writing were good as well as the acting.
I didn’t make my point very clear. Sadly, I’ve seen dramas set in the present with the same concerns and outcomes…
I was fine with the 1979 setting and didn’t think it needed to be in the present. My point was that I’ve seen dramas set in the present where housewives have to suppress their emotions when their husbands have affairs and they stay with the cheaters due to societal and financial pressures. That part didn’t feel very different. I was subtly trying to say that things haven’t changed that much.
I do really appreciate the info on the author and the director though. I love to hear about the writers and directors of dramas and films. Thank you! 😊
>Given that I’ve seen dramas set in the present with similar marital issues, I’m not sure why it was set in…
I didn’t make my point very clear. Sadly, I’ve seen dramas set in the present with the same concerns and outcomes regarding infidelity so the 1979 setting didn’t make much difference even if it was authentic to the book.
This was honestly a good short movie to make viewers think about stuff we usually ignore, coz they don't affect…
There are people more committed to their identity politics than they are compassion and understanding. Closed minded people are far more dangerous than anyone deemed “different.” Some days it feels like they’d be okay with going back to stoning and burning. These films are important to be reminded that humanity is varied and beautiful. ❤️💜💚💛🧡🖤🤎

Was a tough one to write as I had mixed feelings about the drama.
