Oscar-worthy? Really???
12 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A film about the karma of what happens when you leave your dog home alone overnight, this remake of 'Groundhog Day' forgoes much of the original's humour.

Apparently the time of nuance, metaphor and the principle of "show, don't tell" in film has passed. Now writers can just stick sermons in the mouths of their characters and get nominated for an Oscar! Yayyy!

The message of this 34-minute short is a worthy one but was understood within the first 5 minutes. But, in case you missed it, the main protagonist feels the need to explain it out loud at around the 25-minute mark.

Well filmed and fair acting, but a screenplay, dialogue and image system that is as subtle as a breeze block in the face.
