Our Time Is Up

This films tells the story a psychologist who gets some life-changing news. Let's just say this drastically changes the way he deals with his patients--with surprising results. I saw this movie at the AFI Festival in Los Angeles and was not only moved but found myself laughing throughout. Kevin Pollack leads a large cast of talented actors, each who bring something fresh and different to the table. The writing is both clever and honest and I found the directing to be truly inspired. It's rare these days to find movies that not only entertain you but force you to re-evaluate your own life. This films achieves that, much in the way that ABOUT A BOY does. If all short films were this entertaining and professionally produced I think we'd see some of them getting released theatrically. Bravo.
