"Five Feet High and Rising" is a half-hour short film from over 15 years ago written and directed by Peter Sollett. It was his first work and he was in his early 20s and while I agree that Sollett is one to watch in the future I am very much baffled by all the awards attention this one got, especially at Cannes and Sundance Film Festival. It was not a bad watch by any means, but even for a half-hour film not really too interesting and I guess many people who rated this one highly forgot about all the boredom in the first 25 minutes with the sweet ending here with a pretty hot kissing scene. I did not and that is why I cannot recommend checking this one out. Very forgettable short film and the characters are all simply not interesting enough I have to say, not even for such a short film. Thumbs down.
