4/5
A powerful mental health themed micro-short.
Through Shandy’s performance, the director effectively showcases her character’s carelessness. Despite the short runtime, the viewer is forced to confront the harsh realities of those struggling with mental health difficulties. The film also addresses the important and often underexplored topic of the importance of checking in on loved ones and staying connected.
One of the most appealing aspects of this film is its ability to pack a punch with its surprise ending, challenging the viewer’s preconceived notions of the narrative and delivering a powerful blow of emotion. The technical aspects of the filmmaking are also highly impressive. From the expertly crafted sound and post-production to the perfectly-framed and executed cinematography, everything comes together harmoniously to create a visually stunning film. Overall, ‘Many Faces’ is a true masterpiece of short film craft, managing to tackle serious, real-life topics with immense deftness. Highly recommended for all cinephiles and mental health enthusiasts alike.
