I Fail To See What The Fuss Is About, 4 August 2005
5/10
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute, Scotland

EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY MUST has received a lot of critical acclaim amongst short film aficionados but I'm slightly puzzled as to why . I will confess that it's a very well made short film where things like cinematography , editing and acting are concerned but I'm trying to work out the subtext to what it means . Thankfully we don't have any blatant Irish American views of the troubles ( I notice this short is of American origin ) and after seeing American financed garbage like SOME MOTHER'S SON and THE DEVIL'S OWN for that we should be grateful . I guess it's perhaps something to do with the climax where the father cuts off his nose to spite his face , or it's the little things with the directing like soldiers leaving their loaded weapons against a wall which is something that any soldier doing his basic training wouldn't do , or maybe it's because EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY MUST feels more like it belongs in another medium like the theatre
