the confession
Kirpianuscus14 July 2023
Whow ! A good reaction about this film who explores, in wise - precise- gentle manner different levels of a confession of young man to his parents.

An Indian family living in America. Social integrated, supporting, with hard efforts, their son, remaining faithful to traditions, honorable part of comunity is front to honest words of their most precious "investment".

The reaction of mother is radical.

The father sees so wise nuanced the sentimental choice of his son than he becomes the axis of film.

The problem- maybe the presumed unrealism of end. But, in the skin of time machine theme, it is a heartbreaking short film.

Coming Out with the Help of a Time Machine is a striking film that explores family dynamics and the prejudice that some gay people still experience in society. The parents suffer internal battles as they struggle between their love for their son and the judgement of the community. Sid is a good son who wants to be honest with his parents but he also wants their blessing.

A similar reoccurring story structure as seen in Groundhog Day (1993) dominates the narrative and totally supports the unfolding drama. Great acting from all the cast adds to the enjoyment. The ending is really satisfying and funny.

This film was shown as part of North Europe International Film Festival (2022).
