The first time when the viewer sees this film, they may freak out, but they will be driven to see it again guaranteed. Scarred, directed by Damien Rea, is about this guy called Rafi who despite being an attractive guy has a scar on one side of his face. How he got the scar is carefully shown through flashbacks. Trying to forge a relationship or even a date proves difficult for him, as it attracts the wrong sort of attention. He helps a friend out, by letting her use his face as her project. This gets noticed by an admirer and his friend persuades him to take a chance, which may end up changing his life forever. The viewer is drawn to believe a certain line of thinking throughout the film until the end when the gritty flashbacks reveal how Rafi got this scar in the first place. It leaves the viewer questioning who exactly is the victim. All the cast produce great performances and it's a shame there's not a sequel, because the plot is fantastic.

I don't like films that leave things unfinished, but otherwise this has the beginnings of what could be a deep and interesting story about Raffi's coming out experience and what he learns from his mistakes. Or an opportunity to come to terms with what has happened to him and wear his scar with Pride!
great

A great game of apparences. This is the proposition of this short film who, for understand its end, must see it maybe twice. Because it is profound beautiful, first foe smart game with nuances, second for great way to build the tension and, not the last, for performances. A night, a scar and the truth. And something remaining a delicate - subtle- darker shadow, defining the story. Short, just great.
