Faded (2017)

Timeline is a bit confusing, but an overall sweet short film

Overall: This 15 minute short film from Malaysia explores a major challenge to an established m/m relationship. Watched on gagaoolala.

Content Warnings: homophobia

What I Liked
- starts with an established couple
- that they communicate about what they are going to do instead of 1 person just ghosting the other
- cute scenes like at the beach
- the mom's growth

Room For Improvement
- the frequent time skips backwards and forwards made it difficult to know the sequence of events and made it feel disjointed. When the subtitles said Tokyo, Japan they could have also said X weeks, months or years later
- quite a lot of background road noise in a scene towards the end

Not enough In-depth in the Story

This extremely short movie was not what had expected, first off it is literally 15 minutes so its one of those quick watches when you waiting at the train station or something!!

I personnel did not enjoy this, as i felt it left a lot of unanswered questions, and everything was just put together for the sake of it!!

It does explore the homophobia side of things, but again i think this short film could done better if was a more a series, or even a full length movie instead of the 15 minute that I witnessed.

There were some good points to this, as the couple were already in a relationship and how they came to there decision, instead of one making and the other ghosting, the growth of the mom and her acceptance of her sons choice.

But overall Nah this was way too short and it could have done better!!!
