OUR TIME IS UP!

Our time is up is such a great short fim that has a beautiful script. But before moving on its storyline, let's talk about its director director and cast.

Rob Pearlstein

   Our Time Is Up is written and directed by a young director; Rob Pearlstein. His short recieved an Oscar Nomination for Best Live Action Film for the 78th Academy Awards.

   Kevin Pollak who is famous for the movies like The Usual Suspects and Casino, can be seen as a therapist in this short. Frankie J. Allison and Vivian Bang are seen as patients. And I should admit that it was really good to see Lost's Hurley, playing the pot-enthusiast gardener.

   The movie has an interesting storyline. The therapist Dr. Leonard Stern is a precise, neat and well-scheduled person. One morning he recieves a call from his doctor and he learns he has only six weeks to live. Then, he tries to change his life; he tries a new system on his patients: brutal honesty! And also he changes his own lifestyle; he quits his routines.

 To be fair, it's initially a bit reliant on some cliches about patients and therapist; but, it's disarmingly warm and funny! The ending is touching as well.

   What will it cost? 14 minutes. Enjoy it!
