NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Valerie Vasquez Lieberman This short film is the first I have seen. I loved it and look forward to watching many more! This view of what could and may happen everyday is heart wrenching. I always have felt that if you put yourself in a situation that you don't want to deal with then you must accept the consequences, whether in your own conscience or knowing that others may know. "If I Leap" is worth watching to see a view of a world many are not familiar with. I hope to see more short films by Jackie Stone as she seems to be a very talented writer/director. I wish it could be made into a full length movie. The plot is very different then I have seen and it is very hard to find a good movie these days. I would love to have seen more...
evening1 A young nun cloisters herself because she's not drawn to sex like other girls.Then a "safe" man comes along...an Iraqi war vet who shows up at the nunnery because his aunt is a "queen" there.The young woman is the most nubile novitiate on the premises and he's a virile guy so the inevitable begins to transpire -- a touch, a kiss, and then a frisson of danger all lead to expulsion to a remote, bucolic place.It's a little too facile and you know it'll never work but somehow you root a little for these strange bedfellows.This movie is striking in its ability to create believable sexual tension between a woman whose body is entirely under wraps and a man found sprawled on some convent steps. I liked it mainly for its ability to create suspense and the excellent casting of its leads.
Laurent Bryant Good film. Solid. Film is very poetic, lyrical without missing a beat in the narrative. She packs a lot into 20 minutes -- politics, eroticism, desire, solitude, mental illness a lot, and she does it well. What I found to be really wonderful about this short is how she dealt with two people that are apart of something expansive, but they both felt all alone. The lead Adepero and Anslem Richardson are incredible. The lead has a feature coming out called Pariah that I saw at Sundance. She is really, really talented.I hope to see these two again, as well as the director. I think she has a future ahead of her.
