Brilliant and touching
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
I got the impression that Heaven is the place where we get to go with all our knowledge and experience so we get to live making those decisions we should have made, we get to avoid hurting those we love the most, we get to take those chances we never took, and we understand what real love is. The rest of the movie was plain average, nothing exceptional
"Last Call" is a 19-minute live action short film from 2009, so this one is also already over 5 years old. The writer and director is Nick Corporon. Looking at the right side of the title's IMDb page, one could guess that it is a gay-themed short film, but this is only partially true in my opinion. I think there is more to this one in terms of the story. I must say I liked most of the actors and Corporon had a decent cast to work with here. But sadly, his screenplay does not fulfill the requirements for a real quality film. I have no problem with the occasionally absurdity here or the fantasy aspects, but when the film goes very much into detail, it just does not look too authentic or even touching, what it certainly could have been given the topic. In the end, it is not a failure, but a really mediocre outcome. I cannot recommend the watch.
