Review of Xavier

Xavier (2016)
6/10
Delicate but seeming unfinished
25 May 2023
This lbgtqia+ short film is delicate, sensitive, and well produced. There is an intent of developping deeply the characters, what is also important. However, they tried it so much that the film looked unfinished. Why the boy was not paying attention in school? It had no consequences for the story. Why the boy loves drums? Just for showing the father playing that song with his guitar? That is too little. And there us too much time focusing in the other boy, what would make sense if the entire film emphasized more the first person perspective (what the main character sees and listens), what it did not, just for a little moment.
