YOURS ARE MINE - One of the Most Important Shorts of 2019

[BlackbirdFilmFest · 10/10 · 25 October 2020]

Brooke Trantor's short film, YOURS ARE MINE, is an absolute MUST SEE as it takes a more real world approach to discovering and processing eating disorders. In this incredibly thoughtful short film, Brooke Trantor and Allison Moses give beautifully sensitive performances that audience members are able to connect instantly with. It's no wonder this film WON the Powerful Voice Award at the 2019 Blackbird Film Festival. A well deserved testament to Brooke Trantor and her team.

Small team. Larger-than-life story.

With as many awards and nominations this short has, I'm surprised I'm the first one to be giving this a review. I really thought this would've had a lot more attention. You can tell a lot of hard work and passion was put into this project, and it certainly paid off for the director/writer/producer/lead and her crew of only women. To start off, the writing is by far the strongest component. It offers a lot of heart-wrenching moments in less than eight minutes with two grounded characters that felt honest and real. The conflict the two main characters shared left me on the edge of my seat. The second strongest component (a very close second) is the editing. Even with this simple story, the editors gave us a glimpse into the mind of the main character giving her a lot of depth which I thought was a neat addition. The performances were also pretty good. The two leads had an interesting chemistry that had a natural progression. There aren't many flaws I noticed with this film. My only issues were that one of the moments midway felt like forced conflict but thank goodness it was only one moment. I also felt like some of the shots were a little bland in color, but not all of them. Some had a clear tone that they gave off, but I didn't feel that was the case for all of them. Finally, I was a little unclear with the ending at first. After re-watching it a couple times, I think I understand it better now, but I wonder if someone only decided to watch this once, would they feel the same? Perhaps it's to be left up to interpretation. These are only minor flaws far outweighed by the major strengths. I would still recommend anyone who has eight minutes to spare to watch Yours Are Mine and give this the attention it deserves!
