Not A Second Wasted
13 May 2006
This is a jewel of a short film, featuring always-brilliant Kevin Pollack. He plays a self-important psychiatrist who's found professional nirvana with a flock of dutiful patients suffering from varying psychoses, none of which he makes must of an effort to address. We meet each of his patients in a cleverly created montage, which features the good doctor's tricks to keep them coming back for more. His world is then rocked when he receives a phone call informing him he has just six weeks to live. It's amazing what a little vulnerability--and brutal honesty--can do to change people's lives. This is a first-rate short film, nominated for an Academy Award. The supporting cast shines and makes perfect use of every second on camera. You'll be wishing for more when "Our Time Is Up".
