The ingenious decision to shoot the film in one continuous take heightens the immediacy of the narrative, allowing the audience to witness the escalating tensions and underlying issues in the relationship. Wyatt Tithof’s portrayal of Morgan, marked by a lack of respect for their anniversary and a disinterest in political engagement, contrasts sharply with Cvengros’s emotionally invested Ana. The outstanding performances bring a comical edge to the drama, making the characters relatable and the conflict engaging.
Gairo Cuevas’s continuous cinematography, panning intimately between the characters, is not only well-framed but also beautifully choreographed, contributing to the film’s overall aesthetic appeal. The seamless execution of this technically challenging approach adds an extra layer of sophistication to the storytelling. In its entirety, Cuevas delivers a well-made, thought-provoking film that masterfully blends personal and political narratives within the confines of a single, captivating take.
