office-147 Review of Brown Paper Bag

Brown Paper Bag (2003)

"...A powerful message [...] ...the acting is absolutely spot on..! [...] ... a fifteen minutes well-worth seeing!"

[6/10 · 16 December 2004]

The first two minutes of this meaningful drama are rather disappointing to a hopeful viewer. The hallucinations of a female alcoholic seem to be more comical than what I imagine was supposed to be realistic, but as it slowly moves on, it definitely improves. A low-budget has definitely made a few spoilers, but a few shockingly good scenes also. To compensate a few let-downs, the acting is absolutely spot on and the motion is well-edited. This short film is definitely one that brings a powerful message to not just alcoholics, but those who consider drinking to excess, a great sport. I would urge victims of alcohol to watch this, but those who aren't also - it's a fifteen minutes well-worth seeing!
