42 Seconds of Happiness (2016)
A party to remember
This film was so realistic that I could imagine myself throwing a beer can across the table at somebody. We've all been there. It would have been one of those gatherings that would be talked about for years to come. But the ending was so surprising that I sure didn't see it coming. And yes, that happens in real life, too!
The Rainbow Experiment (2018)
The fog of real life
The Rainbow Experiment is an unsettling movie. One can imagine oneself as any of the different characters as the disaster in a school unfolds: the volatile teenagers, the angry and grieving parents, the professionals and staff locked in mutual combat. We experience the friction of nonsense and truth, secrecy and revelation, uncanny wisdom and stunning stupidity that we all are capable of.
The multiple characters' backstories are confusing and sometimes excessive, but they add to the real-life feel of the film. The jumpy urban cinematography, split screen, and sudden scene shifts enhance the sense of everything happening at once. Random encounters between people build to an emotional climax....that may or may not be real. It's for you to decide.
