'I am Victoria' tells the story of a woman breaking down under the pressure of "living her best life". But this short film feels more like a concluding act to a larger drama. Victoria is unbearable to herself and others, but not a monster; as a character, she's hard to either love or hate, just a certain type of person whose life is out-of-balance, and the absence of backstory makes it hard to get more involved. I don't particularly love 'American Beauty' but it's comic treatment of a similar subject (Annette Bening's character) was certainly more entertaining.
