A rare non horror movie review
I usually do not review films outside
of the horror or its subgenres but Emeriah Rich of Horror Addicts dot net
supports writer/director Omar Haro and asked me to review this film.
Hearts&Kisses is a really good
example of how a director can use the setting make the most out of a small
budget and a limited time frame. Clocking in at just 14 minutes and 45 seconds
the setting does all the heavy lifting, just sixty seconds in and you already
know that this is a Christian household and this sets the tone for the strange
little story that follows perfectly.
Hearts&Kisses tells the love story of
Richie and Liz. They are a fairly young couple and their feelings for each
other and the way interact with each other is genuine, tender, goofy, and
awkward.
Surrounded by the icons of their faith,
with her parents, and brothers, away Liz decides that tonight should be their
big night, despite that they are still probably a year or two away from their wedding
night. Of course Richie is delighted! But God
is watching and Richie has a secret.
The pacing and storytelling of this
micro-mini-movie is really good. The ending, if it could be called that, will
leave you questioning what the hell it was you just watched but I am not going
to fault it for that. I am going to give this one 3 out of 5 stars. Enjoy!
