These Things Take Time

A realistic situation, a case of attachment of a young student to his teacher , an almost absent father and the perception of love at early age.

The craft, just admirable, represents the main virtue of this sweet to lovely short film about messages not right perceived, about expectations and wise answers to demonstration of frustrations of a boy.

Maybe, it is a film about parenthood, maybe a blick about relation teacher - student but the profound meaning remains the discover of reality - from love to the way to be remarked by the other , and this inspired exploration of childhood universe remains the precious gift of film.

Oddly enough I ended up watching this after seeing Elvis The Alien's review of Nic Cage's Mom and Dad. The little kid seemed familiar and I noticed I had saved this short on my watchlist. I'm glad I decided to watch it.

It was very well made and left me wanting more. It's a very simple, effective and believable story that is elevated by the boy's performance. I won't lie and say that I teared up as well during the pivotal scene.

I don't think people appreciate short films as much as they should. I'm seriously excited to see both the boy and the director's work in the future!
