Reviews

  • Alunauwie

    The Swan is a deeply moving short film about a bullied boy named Peter, narrated by his adult self, which adds emotional depth to the story. The film uses implicit visuals to immerse viewers in Peters perspective, though this style may not appeal to all. Despite limited settings, creative camera work keeps the narrative engaging. The escalating tension from bullying acts culminates in a powerful, heartbreaking conclusion highlighted by a mothers emotional plea. This film is ideal for audiences who appreciate artistic storytelling focused on narrative over explicit visuals.
