Surprisingly nice little drama

Surprising mainly because of the performances of the two main characters and the script that pops along really well.Of course the movie has its issues with sets, lighting and overall production values but these are matters of budget and not of talent.I would be interested to see what else the moviemakers produce next time, hopefully, with a bigger chequebook.The movie moves along very spritely for the first hour before it moves to its somewhat underwhelming finale. Some plot herrings are left hanging and never circled back to and I could have done without the clichéd racist caller at the start but overall, an impressive effort.

When you went through so much that you recognize every nuance of BS

Somewhere in the middle of the movie the protagonist is listening to a radio call of "I went through bad things and now I am enlighten everything is happy and we just need to believe and stay together", and the look of distaste on his face said everything - How disconnected are the people are there on the world with people who are suffering.Taz is ranting through the movie about everything besides him, because people can't see him and can't connect with him. Everyone keep talking blah blah blah but no one is present, and Taz is spiraling down. Until he gets that phone call and finally after talking to people on the radio for years- for the first time someone is listening to him.This movie is a metaphor for nowadays communication: talking to people everyday and it is all meaningless. People rather watch youtube, listen to spotify and everything else rather to have a human interaction, and when they finally do- they aren't present. It is equal to death. They are not to blame for, since they have their own reasons and they don't owe us anything.Finding that person who is ready to be present with you, looking you at the eyes and seeing you is the most precious thing that there is for someone who is dealing with problems. When Taz is being seen, he stops "dying". What a beautiful and real movie this is.
