The Back Room (2008)
Surprisingly moving

I never would have thought 15 minutes could be so moving. This short film packs a fairly powerful punch despite it's tiny run time. Beauitully acted by the 2 leads, it does not even feel as if they are acting. A minor fault in the writing makes the ending feel slightly forced. The simplicity of what's happening is somewhat shattered by unnecessarily overt statements. It doesn't make the whole any less poignant, but it is somewhat jarring. Oh, and I feel I must mention "The Guy", actor Dan Sturges, or at least the character he's playing, is a dream walking. Anyone would fall for him! So anyway, give it a view, and you may be surprised by what you find.
