This is "Brace", a fairly recent 24.minute live action short film from last year. It is a British production and the directors are Alicia Eyo and Sophie Holland. The writer is Jake Graf and he also plays one of the main characters. It is a story on love between men, but also between fading love between a man and a woman and many other things too. I think it is better than many gay-themed short films I have seen, but this is not because it's a particularly memorable movie, but because the genre is in a pretty bad state overall. I think Graf was probably the best actor here, but I wish he could have been as good on the screen play. I somehow feel that there are too many characters in here for a film under 30 minutes and the result is that almost none of these are properly elaborated on despite getting some screen time. A bit for everybody, not enough for anybody. Other than that, I found the plot and story all in all not too interesting either. I cannot recommend this 2015 film. Thumbs down.
