Review of The Cut

The Cut (2014)
10/10
Simple and touching, great acting
5 August 2015
Its amazing to see that a short film can pack such a powerful punch. The interaction between the two actors is really what takes this simple story to the next level. The young girl (Milya Corbeil-Gaubreau) ) is a natural talent, visibly at ease in front of the cameras. The dad (Alain Houle) portrays a complex set of emotions, from light and happy at first to torn and sad as the story unfolds. Its surprising to see such a convincing display: he really conveys how his mood is transformed within a short span of time. Very moving.

I'm not usually a fan of shorts but this one made a believer out of me.

Won best international fiction at Sundance. Both the director (Genevieve Dulude-Decelles) and the actors show immense talent.
