Cactuses (2006)
The traditional story of a lost young soul who needs to discover himself and repair his relationships with those around him, with the help of a new friend
Cactuses was a very enjoyable watch. At first i was worried where the film was going, but as the plot developed it progressed into a strong story of a lost young man. The actors were brilliant and the characters were very believable. The dialogue is well scripted and the music is very effective in portraying the mood. My only criticism of the film is that sometimes you see the characters are speaking but you cannot hear them over the music which gives the feeling that they could not think of meaningful dialogue. This is seen especially in the final conversation between the protagonist and his girlfriend when he breaks up from her, where she opens with something along the lines of 'ive been looking everywhere for you, whats this about?' and finishes with 'i cant forgive you this time' yet we don't hear what he says to her. Apart from this it is a very strong film that deserves to be seen by a larger audience.
