Should have talked louder.
10 May 2004
Independent films have a reputation for being different than the mainstream fare, but different is not always better. This is a story about a profoundly ordinary girl who finds herself faced with a non-ordinary situation. Otherwise, the banality of her thinking can be found at the checkout line of any K-Mart. The story merely demonstrates that unusual circumstances do not necessarily cause ordinary persons to rise above their commonplace values.

In terms of its being a low budget presentation, the most obvious deficit is in the sound mixing. It is almost impossible to hear what the characters are saying, most of the time. This is not a slur on their fine British accents, but on the technicians who did the mixing. The background noise is typically louder than the voice track. The story itself is hardly worth watching, but having to strain to hear what they're saying makes it all the more tedious to endure.
