2009
Directed By Dia Sokol

SYNOPSIS

Kira (Kenya Miles) has a one night stand with Max (Wiley Wiggins) who already has a girlfriend.

MY THOUGHTS

Sorry, Thanks is billed as an unconventional romantic-comedy, and it is. It ain't romantic or funny.


The lack of a well-crafted script really dooms the film.
The dialogue has a very amateurish feel almost as if it was all made up by the actors on the spot as cameras were rolling. The humor comes from a few half-assed one liners  The weak script, along with many shots of the actors standing against walls doing nothing, gives the film a very directionless (and pointless) feel.


The acting is very naturalistic and real... but the actors (both leads and supporting) don't really DO anything and we never learn anything about the characters to give a crap.

After about 90 minutes Sorry, Thanks then just sort of ends. Nothing resolved. It's as if they ran out of money and just ran the credits. No message is made or even attempted here.

The only amazing thing about the film is the cinematography somehow is able to completely drain the vibrancy and beauty from the city of San Francisco.

A second-rate student film.
