Many reviewers have taken after Roger Ebert's 'two thumbs up' signature. Sometimes something else will be substituted depending on the movie, ie two paws for Cats & Dogs, or some such. Thankfully, the "two thumbs up" concept is copyrighted, so the current generation won't have to see terrible local critics use it themselves. LOL, but yes I give this two thumbs for being different and creative. The term "dark." It's very old, tracing back to the Biblical days or further, and one of the most overused descriptors in the history of media. Any show that's violent, negative, or set in a Crapsack World is "dark." Any band that makes ominous, angsty, or sad music will inevitably be called "dark." Characters always have "dark pasts" and "dark secrets" that will one day lead them to The Dark Side. (Not to mention that a "Dark and stormy night" is never a good thing.) Thankfully, this often not the case. I think this was well put together. Loved that the structure was well thought out. I think this is something that I will take in my own work and life and use. I think it made me really want to see this on the big screen and I truly beloved and believe that this piece of work can make it and do very very very well in the film festival circuit. So I want to let you know that you did a really good job with this script and I was honoured to read it and I'm excited to see where it goes.
