Frank and Three (2025)

Wow, just wow. This is without a doubt the best short movie I have ever seen in my entire life. From the moment this movie started I immediately knew I was in for a treat but my god, even I didn't expect something this beautiful. As soon as the first tear rolled down my cheek they just didn't stop, this movie touched me on such a deep level that I didn't even know was possible. At first I didn't really understand why I was crying as... nothing actually happened, but I took a moment to think about what I just watched and thought more about "why am I crying?" And then I understood, I understood why this short film made me feel as much as I did when nothing big really happened. The way Frank didn't speak once about what he lost, we just knew that his loss was a difficult one to deal with by the different shots we got of him in the first few minutes. We didn't see him move, we didn't see him talk, we didn't see him being understood or comforted, until he seemed to have finally "given up". He didn't seem bothered about moving on until he met this tissue dispenser. A lot of people might not understand the significance of frank meeting this none human object and finding comfort in its existence. But it does a really good job of showing Frank letting go. He never verbally says he's moved on, nor has he forgotten what hes feeling but this journey of "helping someone else" was really his journey of not moving on but accepting what is. He finally felt at peace with what is and could finally breath. He learnt that everything does come to an end and that's okay, it's just life and everyone moves on eventually, weathers that's in death or emotions. This movie really touched my heart and I fear I am never going to forget it. I will be recommending this to everyone I know. Thank you Charlie and Steven for this absolute masterpiece.
