Homesick

At first I was sceptical about the themes of the film, seeing as the experience of the pandemic has been all too real for many people, but I must admit the cast and crew did a fantastic job in the handling of the subject in a way that is hard hitting without being overly distressing for the viewer. Outside of the story itself, the film is well made, perhaps a few shaky shots and moments out of focus, which I believe were unintentional unfortunately, but it does not take anything away from the film or experience itself. Props to the editing department for an excellent job on all fronts; pacing and structure were solid - you could feel the slow decline in the Student's mentality, but also really felt the hard hitting moments - the colouring also helped set the tone of this film from the get go. All in all, I feel as though the cast and crew have delivered an excellent film; from the film itself to the fact it was all made during lockdown within COVID guidelines could not have been easy, so well done!
