The Arrival (Daniel Montanarini, 2016)

The Arrival - 9/10

About:
A woman contemplates whether or not to keep her baby, while waiting for her lover to arrive in a small café.

Narrative:
A young woman sits down in a small café and orders herself a drink. We hear her internal thoughts, debating that she should've ordered a decaf or tea.

Liked:
I like the idea of the narration of her internal thoughts. It instantly aligns you with the character. I also like the returning themes throughout, like the coffee order. I liked how it was one take and the use of lighting is very creative. 



Disliked
Only because it was left on a cliff hanger, I'd like to know how the conversation went.

Inspiration 
I would look into using narration in my own piece.
