Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) Well, actually "Signs" was first, so it's maybe the other way around. This is a 12-minute movie written and directed by Australian Patrick Hughes, whose most famous work after this short film here was certainly "Expandables 3". This is so strange as I could not think of a movie more different to "Signs" than parts of the "Expandables" franchise. These are loud, action-based and not really story-reliant and his short film here is absolutely none of these things. An office worker is slightly depressed as he can't seem to find love and then he also has to watch people all the time around him being in love. However, things get better when he starts a sign relationship with a young woman working in the office building next to his. The two communicate for a while via signs and in the end they finally meet up. I like how this film ends exactly before the two exchange the first words audibly. It's nothing really outstanding, but a cute and funny little story and I was always curious what would be written on the next sign, which is probably a good thing. Nothing worse than indifference. Thumbs up. I recommend it, especially to people who have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to romance films.
MartinHafer It seems rather odd that Disney received the Oscar for Best Animated Short considering that much of this plot seems inspired by this earlier film, "Signs". See them both--you'll probably see what I mean.The film is done without verbal dialog. A young man is working in the big city and is feeling alienated and alone. As a result, he seems to be just going through the paces in life. However, one day as he looks out the window of the office where he works, he sees a cute lady in the building next door. And, surprisingly, she draws a little sign and soon they begin conversing and telling jokes from their respective jobs. But, they don't meet in person. What's next? See it and find out for yourself.This film is excellent because it shows what can be done without dialog. Despite this limitation, the film is quite touching and clever. Very well done and well worth your time...and quite original.
rijon007 2009 Cannes winner Short film ''SIGNS'' is an amazing romantic short film. This 12 minutes speechless film is about a lonely boy who start communicating with a cute girl in next building using written signs and eventually they met each other. With a very simple concept, creative director Patrick Hughes made a master piece, actually one of sweetest films i have ever seen. This short film might seems quiet unrealistic , but i think most people don't to want to see daily boring mundane reality at film. They rather wish some fantasy and unrealistic events unconsciously.I think the message of the short film is : Love doesn't always talk , sometimes might be expressed even from a piece of paper. In a world of social networking and cellphone, signs are still powerful as long as they mean a lot.Whole film is well edited and I think background music really is cool and quiet touchy , but over exaggerated Techno sound effects which made it less emotional. Couple of humorous scenes and at ending part both of the characters' anxiety and final meeting sensational scene made whole film extraordinary . Besides, within only 12 minutes representing 8 days stories is a very hard job, which Patrick Hughes have done very smoothly.
Tan Nguyen I was wondering that could it be real in our life when they didn't use phone or say any word. But it makes the film special. No need to talk. Just by words. The emotion expressed through their faces, their signs...You can feel like the characters felt: the loneliness of the men in a big city, the simple-but-deep love of him with the woman in the opposite building. The music in the film makes it more emotional. The director made a good job!However, I don't think someday it will be real, not on the movie. But sometimes we shouldn't be practical to rate it. Deserve to get 10 stars.
