Moody and Engaging Short Film

"Floodplain" is a compelling short film that effectively captures a moment in time. Sarah Desjardins delivers a strong performance, conveying a lot with minimal dialogue and subtle expressions. The film's atmosphere is immersive, with the cinematography perfectly complementing the mood of the story.

Given the short runtime, there isn't much room for deep character development, but that's not the focus here. Instead, the film excels at creating a snapshot of emotion and tension. The plot is straightforward, but it unfolds in a way that keeps you engaged, avoiding any sense of predictability.

Overall, "Floodplain" is a well-executed short that's worth watching, especially if you appreciate films that rely on mood and atmosphere to tell a story. It doesn't overreach but delivers exactly what it sets out to do.
