Bits

A short story that jumps right in and seems to meander a bit it, but then pulls the curtain away to reveal something darker than expected. Great camera work, dialog that works, and a good sense of timing between characters.

Realistic and grounded, the lead actress (Betsey Brown) is especially good, and I hope one of her many other shorts eventually get her noticed for something larger. She's got a naturalness to her acting and physicality that is perfect for a role that is meant to "seem" like it's minor.

What works more than anything is the fact that the main character is both charming on the one hand, but can be just as clueless and desperate on the other. Not so different than most people when you think of it.
