The Vanishing Triangle (2023)
Quickly hooked on this show
From the first episode, this series had me hooked with its compelling story and brilliant character development.
The attention to detail in both the script and production is commendable. The creators have crafted a world that feels authentic and captivating. The plot twists are cleverly executed, keeping me on the edge of my seat, and the pacing is impeccable, allowing for a perfect balance between suspenseful moments and character-driven narratives. By the time the emotions of the lead characters begin to be explored you are fully engaged with their respective plights.
The ensemble cast delivers outstanding performances, bringing each character to life with depth and nuance. The chemistry between the actors is palpable, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the already gripping narrative. It's rare to find a series that keeps you guessing while also making you care deeply about the characters, and "The Vanishing Triangle" achieves this effortlessly.
Definitely the final episode left me scratching my head, but the creators are clearly planning for every possibility in a subsequent season.
3-Minute 4-Play (2005)
Strangely familiar
This short displays a distinct lack of visual dexterity, a shame as the creators were obviously using CGI and so could have come up with just about any visual scenario they wished. The visual environments weren't linked to the plot in any way.
Acting was a little half-hearted. While Ruth Negga is an admirable actress the male lead didn't have much charisma - did the leading actor drop out just before shooting and have to be replaced by the directors scruffy mate? Worst of all I found the film's plot strangely familiar with a concept almost identical to a previous short (called Ten Minute Movie), except less well executed. Guess there's only so many short film plots to go around, eh?
