Sidewalls (2011)

An interesting film with that has trouble keeping pace

[7/10 · 1 June 2016]

Sidewalls is a well made film with believable characters,where it struggles is keeping you interested the whole way through it's hour and thirty five minute run time. Sidewall introduced us to Martin and Marianna two people who are lonely insecure and a bit depressed, both of these characters are portrayed excellently bu their actors(Javier Drolas and Pilar López de Ayala) and are written to seem like real people and they are genuinely believable characters. I really enjoyed seeing the characters develop as they both continued on their path to eventually find each other but on the way some parts tended to drag on, such as every time Marianna cried in her apartment and every time Martin talks about how computers have changed dating. These moments of repetition made me fell not immersed in the film. I believe with is flaws this film is still ultimately worth a watch because i can almost guarantee it is unique compared to what you are used to and it shows a glimpse into the lives of two very interesting people.
