Say the Quiet Part Loud
5/5
An experimental drama that explores alcoholism and homelessness.
The 24-minute film opens with Kore walking a suburban Arizona street to exchange a free library book. Her appearance is unkept. The short continues at a woodland, where Kore sits drinking amongst the fellow destitute. Kore’s social interaction is non-existent, unlike the others, exposing her troubled mindset. Kore’s poetic skills and articulation is utilized in the following scene, as she sits writing in her tent. A poignant piece of writing and filmmaking, particularly due to Kore’s voice being limited throughout the entire film. Additional scenes showcase her breaking-an-entry into a holiday rental, where she drinks her emotions away.
