Two of Us

By Leo Rassool with 6.8

romance · Short Films · english

A couple has recently moved in together, and they’re both only just beginning to learn to navigate their lives around and with each other. When Simon asks to re-arrange some parts of the house so as to accommodate his personality as well in this new space, the viewer is made privy to the quickly unraveling thoughts in Marcy’s head.

The panic and anxiety around having her porn stash (with the most interesting pun concealed within the layers of the narrative) come to the fore. In the process, the viewer is presented with an endearing plot, not minus its moments of secrecy and high tension.

The short duration of the film is complete with impeccable chemistry between the actors, strong as individual performers as well as a unit, along with wonderful writing, with one of the most notable aspects of the film being the seamless background score. Even though the film loses some points when it comes to control over its visual quality, all of these elements together give rise to a product that is engaging and heartwarming in equal measure.
