The point, please?
The problem with making a short subject is that of content--specifically, what do you say if you only have five minutes to say it in? Answer: Not much, granted, but there still has to be a discernable point. This brings us to "A Slice of Life," which leaves with the question, "And you filmed this...why?"
Basically, the film is a presentation of a distasteful mishap that befalls a mother and child, all in the name of "black comedy." Now, I'm not saying that there's no potential for a decent short there, but when you're left wondering what possessed those involved to spend valuable time and assets committing this to celluloid (above and beyond the vague nausea left behind by the mishap itself), the mind boggles as to what on earth they were thinking. It's not even funny--not even in a gallows-humor sort of way. Don't bother.
Rating: 2 out of 10.
