    The quiet confidence to just sit with the emotion rather than rush to the next plot point is something that really impressed me about this independent short film. Very genuine.

    The Taking of Deborah Logan

    It took me three days to get through this movie. Every so often I allow myself to be convinced by positive reviews that I’m going to find some enjoyment in a cheaply made, poorly acted, cliche-ridden found footage movie, and once again, I found it to be cheaply made, poorly acted, and cliche-ridden. It is impossible to take this movie seriously. From the incredibly tired “it was just a draft” trope to the least utilized crew member leaving early (his horn has that asshole-fanfare song as he drives off), to the insanely dumb dialogue, this movie is not worth the bandwidth.

    Longlegs? More like wide angle lenses, am I right? 

    This was absolutely dripping with atmosphere. Gorgeous cinematography, brilliant and intentional editing, performances are incredible. This movie is a whole-ass experience and will definitely be toward the top of my end of year favorites list.
