I'm don't go to NYU and don't know much about short student films, so this is just the opinion of a random viewer. I thought the film was quite good actually, one of my favorite. Interesting, funny, dark, clever, sexual, disturbing.
Franco, Swain, Olsen, and Mitchell excelled in their limited screen time, surprising me with the versatility from Olsen and Mitchell especially. The costumes and setting were realistic and simple- grunge clothing and a football jacket worn by high schoolers sitting in a diner in a small town. Although the fact that three people at opposite ends of the popularity spectrum would randomly meet in a diner seemed just a little off, I'm from Baltimore so that whole prospect is unfamiliar to me and I suppose is entirely possible.
The offbeat humor, and short silences mixed with subtle looks makes for good timing and clever thinking as well as snorting laughs. The ending twist was genius. The film simply begins and ends in 8 minutes with a few answerable questions at the end and forces you to think quickly to keep up.
