Join the dots review.
Keep/Delete. Kryzz Gautier
I remember the early days of dating my now ex-girlfriend. She was on a comedy course. There was another woman on the system where I had seen their showcase. She asked me if her friend was funny, and I said, “Absolutely, she was hilarious …but you’re prettier” She punched me in the arm and congratulated me on being well-trained. More recently, as she is in another relationship, we talked about me dating again, and I said, “Should I ever settle down, my new girlfriend will have to accept any invoice you send for work done on this fixer-upper.”
Keep Delete takes this and throws it out the window. One partner wants to erase an entire four years with her other half, and the other wants to keep all she can and the attachment that comes with it. The relationship is initially quite apparent while leaving an underlying question of what leads to this. It is one of thoughts, regrets and recriminations, But as my mother always said, “he who never made a mistake never made anything of value”. Value your time with this gem.

A fantastical plasticine sensuality as Morph journeys through the 7 girls you date on a Greek mythology course. A world where to be joined with someone in true love seems so natural for all, our hero Ren meets all the personalities that can smother, smoulder hot and seduce coldly with love for them while costing yourself when maybe the best way to be loved is to be love for one’s self. And not like all their Instagrams at 3 in the morning….what! DON’T JUDGE ME!

Part Bound and Part A Simple Plan. We join our duo as they try to cuckoo the life and money of a woman they have …well … . She’s gone now. But then she is literally gone. Subterfuge and jealousies between them cause a rift as large as the one between mainland life and the island they are on. It’s a great noir with a sprinkle of sci-fi that keeps its mysteries while revealing everything relevant by the end. A great one for pulp crime and cyber grifters everywhere.

Cam is one unlovable loser. The good-looking guy in a lovely apartment and with a doting woman. And, of course, his girlfriend, who is just trying to give him some sense of motivation. Part classic farce and part fable of entitlement reaching absurd proportions. It’s perfectly pitched at the fragility of alpha males and self-esteem vs entitlement. Cam gets his deserts as requested, and you do wonder who is really the trapped one. A great espresso from a film.
