Skeletons

"This film certainly has an intensity to it. "Christopher" (Robin Lord Taylor) finds himself revisiting long-lost pains and anguish when he is faced with a meeting, out of the blue, with his ex-boyfriend "David" (Tommy Beardmore). We are but flies on the wall as the couple try to reconcile not just with each other, but with the guilt both feel about their failed relationship and with the responsibilities for that failure. What is especially effective is the relentless rain pounding the window panes as the two men try to deal with their demons. On that latter front, detail is provided to us rather sparingly. We don't know what went wrong, who might have been to blame - cheating, grown apart? Nor are we expecting to find out. This is a short and effective observational drama that packs quite a lot into twenty minutes and is well worth a watch."
