Featured review
How exactly did IMDb come up with a weighted average of 3.7 for this superb short film?
I was surprised when I looked at the weighted average for COLLAPSED on IMDb. It is listed at 3.7 but when I looked at the voting history, twelve people scored it a 10 and only two scored it a 1 and there were not votes in between. How this balances out to 3.7 (when it seem like it should be close to 9) is beyond me. The problem isn't just the bizarre scoring but that such an incredibly low score will give people the impression that this is a bad film--which it certainly isn't!
The film is done with very little dialog. You are forced to guess, to a degree, what is occurring and why. A man is trying to go about his office job but he looks like an emotional wreck--almost like he's on the verge of a breakdown. At the same time, he takes out some old pictures and glances through them and you realize that he's upset, at least in part, because of a failed relationship, as he keeps staring at the picture of a lady. However, why this is and the entire back story is uncertain until the final very emotionally stirring moments of the film.
The film is expertly crafted, engaging and quite moving. Give this film a try and ignore the low rating.
