Do You Want to Play the Truth or Dare with Me? Reboot (2019)

A good idea that falls short in practice

I haven't seen the original version so I cannot compare it to this reboot. I always try to be nicer to low budget short films and shows because there is only so much you can do with a limited budget. But I do still expect a coherent script. This show had the potential to be a neat little show, but while the basic idea was decent for a short film (girl likes the slightly older student tutoring her and tries to figure out whether the other one likes her), the editing was confusing. I had difficulty telling what was the present, what was a dream, what was a flashback or a flashforward. It jumped around a bit too much in a way that many it was hard to get a coherent story. The actresses, especially the one who's supposed to be the younger one, looked too old for their roles, something but aided by the make-up, which took me out of the story even more. It's a shame because as I said, the storyline is simple enough that we could get a solid shirt film out of it. I wouldn't discourage you from watching. After all, I'm all for giving views to small lesbian creators because it's only through those that they can get more funding for better project and is only 15min total, but it's not a recommendation either.
