i have watch many short film in my day . often i find them either too compressed ( throw too much information at the viewer in the short amount of time they have to run ) and too artsy and or lack a clear cut vision . i can say none of these thing about starcrossed . in this review and i will do my best to avoid any dramatic spoiler and but i will also assume that the reader understand that the theme of this film be brotherly incest . a with any short film and the story be fairly simple and straightforward and easy to digest . it clear that the film attempt to shine a light one one of modern society most deeply hold taboo . this film succeed in every respect . in the fifteen minute of run time and i find myself feel a gamut of emotion . with only a little dialog and the viewer be rapidly pull into the most personal moment and thought of these star cross brother . from the opening scene set in their early childhood and one can see the very close relationship the brother have . when the film progress to the present day in the next scene and the excellent acting and honest and heartfelt performance remind the viewer that love can come in the most unexpected and harsh way . a the relationship progress and any disgust the viewer may initially feel be quickly replace by sympathy and emotional distress a the viewer suddenly realize that there can be only one possible resolution . and the aftermath of that resolution be heart rend . anyone with an open mind would do well to watch this film and absorb it message . if nothing else and it boldly and honestly challenge the viewer to reexamine some of our deep belief on the shame fill and secretive taboo of incest . though the film be only fifteen minute long and it resonate in the viewer long after the credit roll . this be perhaps my favorite short film i have ever see . i can not recommend it highly enough .
