"It's Not You It's Me" is an 11-minute live action short film from 2012, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year. It is from the United States, so obviously in the English language and the writer and director is Matt Spicer. Lead actress is Gillian Jacobs and she may not be a huge star, but still somewhat known and this description also fits the supporting cast very well that even includes Emmy nominees. Overall, I was underwhelmed with this one. The last shot with 3 more suitcases was kinda funny, but the ending was extremely abrupt and honestly the film does not make sense on some occasions. We have a woman who kills her boyfriend in an accident. we see how she struggles with it, how she is scared and shaken to the core, almost has to vomit and then we see her kill her neighbor (a witness of the accident) in cold blood. That does not make any sense. Lets also keep in mind that it was an accident, even if it may have looked differently. I know it is a dark comedy, but there are still very basic regulations that you have to adhere in terms of realism and making this an authentic watch. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
