"Ronny & i" is a deeply moving and masterfully erotic story of two twenty-something life-long male best friends coming to terms with one announcing his love for the other. Writing, acting and editing are way above average for a low-budget short. The tight script and the actors' near perfect naturalistic styles draw you into this deeply intimate and entirely feasible portrayal of how the two of them navigate this challenge to their friendship. The editing is brisk where it needs to be but scenes are also allowed to linger so the viewer can absorb what is happening both on the surface and at the deeper levels of these two rich characters.
The film was recorded entirely on a hand-held iPhone 5, but you won't notice or care because the camera, via lots of ECUs, transports the viewer into the middle of the characters' process. We see and hear exactly what these two young guys are experiencing as they absorb this newly revealed dynamic in their relationship. The story will grip you until the final scene, at which point you'll wish it wasn't over.
