James King says…
“This is a fabulous review. It’s beautifully succinct and educated and – crucially – made me want to see the film (again!). There were a couple of repetitions of words (‘short’ and ‘almost’) that could be tweaked for a smoother read, as well as a few extra bits of punctuation just to break up some of the longer sentences.
But what I loved about this review is that, right from the off, you know that the reviewer knows their stuff. There’s no messing. They’re aware of what the short film is trying to do, how it fits into movie history, and what Saloon is trying to say. It’s a deceptively simple review that packs a lot of insight into its few words.”
