Wedding (2023)

It was aight

Okay, so picture this: you're settling in to watch this short film called 'Wedding', and at first, you're like, 'Wait, is this a documentary or what?' That's exactly what went through my head halfway through. The way the actresses were looking straight at the camera and interacting with it had me questioning reality for a second. But then I figured, hey, maybe they're going for that whole documentary vibe.

Let me tell you, the acting in this thing is solid. The dynamic between the characters is on point. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if someone told me they were a real-life couple because the chemistry feels authentic... for the most part. Sure, I didn't feel the sparks flying as much as I'd hoped, but hey, you win some, you lose some.

One thing that caught me off guard though – there's no background music. It's just pure dialogue and ambient noise, which, I guess, adds to the whole 'documentary' feel they were going for, but personally, I missed having a soundtrack to set the mood.

Overall, 'Wedding' is an interesting watch. It might throw you for a loop with its documentary-style filming, but stick with it for the performances. Just don't expect any romantic symphonies in the background.

Interesting But Short Film

I was interested in this film because one of the actresses, Sun Mei Lin, has a supporting role in the 2025 hit series Speed and Love.” This was a short, 12 min film, about two women in a relationship discussing marriage as they are preparing to attend someone else’s wedding. There is no soundtrack and only the two characters in the film which is kind of documentary in style with a “breaking the fourth wall” element. The film was interesting but I don’t know if I would watch it again. The ending was kind of abrupt and left me wanting more. This film was difficult to find but streams for free on GagaOOLala.
