Citizens of suicide, keep your phone to yourself! So, on every occasion...
The main character named Richie decides to commit suicide by cutting veins in his arms. He takes a blade and goes to a bath of water, but for some reason puts a wired phone a meter away, which is a very strange act for a suicide, to be honest. And it should happen – at this moment he calls his sister, with whom he has not spoken for several years. This is an amazing coincidence!
What follows is a whole series of ridiculous scenes and idiotic dialogues of Richie with his niece and sister, which can cause the thinking viewer only bewilderment and nothing more. Why, for example, this stupid scene in the toilet or the fun dancing in the bowling alley? We have a drama or a musical, do I not understand?
The film is weak in almost every way, and the fact that it was awarded an Oscar only speaks to how degenerated this award has been in recent years in the category of gaming shorts. It seems that in order to get it, you just need to suck out of your finger some “tearful” sentimental nonsense.
