Drama: critical review

The film Sign Language by Oscar Sharp is the film I would like to review as it is probably the biggest influence on my film. The main thing that stood out for me was the use of close ups and how they make you feel not only physically closer but emotionally closer to the character. He is an incredibly likable character and the use of humour really helps this, I find myself not understanding why the other people seem to dislike him. The big reveal at the end where they all actually seem to care about him and will miss him had a much bigger impact on me because I had grown to like him and almost dislike the other people around him because he was so likable. I would love for my character to have the same effect on the audience as this one because it helps so much when trying to connect with the film. Overall I found it hard to spot any flaws in this film, the script was very interesting, the idea was fresh and something I had not really seen before and the character building was impecable.
