Excellent portrayal of family dynamic out of control. Good tension and clever pacing. Psychologically spot on

I loved this!! So many relatable characters and perfectly timed comedy! Felt very much like I was sat at the table with them

Fantastic!

Excellent. It is so clever and depicts family life so well. It’s funny and heartfelt all in one

An amazing film. Brilliantly written, performed, edited and graded. Perfectly captures the chaos that ensues at family gatherings.

Enjoyed this greatly as it resonates in the modern world yet makes us nostalgic for the romantic concept of ‘finding someone ‘ which is almost, but not quite, old fashioned. The flow between the actors is realistic, animated and the story succinct and easily identifiable; the characters well defined and presented. I found it hugely enjoyable and relateable. A lovely, warm and natural setting too.

Excellent short; relatable dialogue, and dynamics, like being able to watch the family drama without being part of it. Funny, stressful, and perfect ending. Great camera work, felt involved without being taken out of the atmosphere of it all.

Dinner table scenes are notoriously tough to execute—balancing blocking, pacing, and engaging visuals while managing the technical challenges of a multi-character scene on an indie budget is no small feat. But this short nails it. The family dynamics feel effortless and real, with sharp writing and pitch-perfect performances. Mack had me in stitches—hilarious timing and brilliant reactions. So much truth in all the performance. While I often lean toward bolder stylistic choices, this short doesn’t need them. Its naturalism enhances the comedy, making everything feel authentic and effortless. Despite the usual indie filmmaking constraints, the direction finds the perfect balance between chaos and clarity, keeping the energy high without ever losing focus. A brilliantly executed ensemble piece—funny, sharp, and deceptively difficult to pull off. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Very funny and well written.

This is brilliant short film! It reveals a lot about the characters in a short space of time, as well as multiple family dynamics.
