What Remains

Stumbled accross this when browsing youtube. It's clear that Darcy Kos brings a distinct vision to the film, offering a solid cinematic experience even if it doesn't quite reach the level of greatness. Watson's performance as the protagonist effectively captures the character's inner struggles, portraying pain, isolation, and grief with sincerity. While his portrayal is compelling, there are moments where the character development feels a bit surface-level, and some emotional beats don't quite land as impactfully as they could.

The cinematography stands out, showcasing the film's grim, decayed world in a visually captivating way. However, at times, the stylistic choices seem to prioritize aesthetics over storytelling, leaving some scenes feeling drawn out or lacking in narrative depth. The score and sound design do a good job of enhancing the atmosphere.

Overall, it's a good film that offers moments of brilliance, and I personally really like it. But as a short you need to provide context to make first time watchers have a good grasp on whats being presented. Even if it doesn't consistently maintain that level throughout. It's definitely worth watching. Pretty good!
