It's Not You It's Me

Reading the synopsis of Matt Spicer's dark comedy it read " A young woman's relationship takes a dark turn when every sound her boyfriend starts to make annoys her " I bet you're thinking exactly what I was thinking . It was a story that was going to be entirely confined to one set and most of it would be told via sound effect . Hey I bet there wouldn't even be any dialogue . . This isn't in fact how things work out so in a type of back handed compliment congratulations to Matt for confounding my predictable expectations . That said the unexpected elements don't work in any great detail when you stop to consider them in anyway which is always problematic in a film that has a very short running time . Not only that but there's also a very disjointed feel especially considering the time frame which in a ten minute film seems to span several years which means IT'S NOT YOU IT'S ME is something of a failure and a mean spirited one at that
