A fun and easy watch!

Walking Stories (2013) follows a woman who tells the story of how she met a man and fell in love. This is a fun little short that I enjoyed watching! It isn't entirely unique but it has its own quirks and is a very sweet story.

The cinematography is nice and subtle, and there's a fair amount of interesting camerawork. The colour palettes are fairly unimaginative but this isn't a big problem. Also, there is a lot of mood lighting used which is a nice touch!

There isn't much in terms of sound design but I absolutely love the score! It's very lively and upbeat, and really adds to the fun and fast paced nature of the short.

The performances are very good and the two leads have a lot of chemistry together, I found myself rooting for them as a couple; their relationship is very sweet! The characters also have very strange personalities and interact in an unnatural way, but I really like this as a stylistic choice.

The film is fast paced, fun and easy to watch, and is consistently entertaining. It has a very quirky feel to it and is weird in an endearing way, very similar to the likes of filmmakers such as Wes Anderson! It's also structured very well, split up into nice little chapters.

Simply wonderful!

What a beautiful little film this is. So romantic, funny, touching and with a twist I did not see coming but was really hoping for! Tom Ellis and Kaya Scodelario are as impossibly beautiful as the scenery. My one complaint, I wish it had been a lot longer, I could have watched those two and their adventures all day. Simply wonderful!
