La Promesse

Even as the titles played I was waiting to see what happened next, after these got your attention, a girl in her underwear always gets mine, I got wrapped up in the story and the characters and even if I could see the twist coming I didn't mind. Nice to see a short film that gets the characters out of rooms and involves more than conversations. Also nice to get a short film of 20 minutes that doesn't drag or feel padded.Seeing as the people who made it were not french that added another element, don't know what came first, the location or the actors but all added to the overall look of the film and didn't detract. Don't know why the short film was made but if these people go on to make a feature this is a good stepping stone.
