Leave your thoughts about Young Bodies Heal Quickly.
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe film, shot on 16mm by Sean Williams, gives the film a retro out-of-time feel and Betzer gives us room to think - the spartan scripting matched by a minimalistic approach to the music |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelSometimes, anonymity and minimalism can work in film, but Young Bodies Heal Quickly is not one such example. |
| ViceMichael NordineIt isn't quite sustainable as far as crafting a narrative goes, but it is admirable. |
| User ReviewMatthew SAndrew T. Betzer's feature length cinematic debut is an intriguing and challenging film. After an accidental tragedy, their mother sends them away with a little money and a car. The film defies genre and is largely experimental in narration and editing. Betzer offers more questions than answers. There is no sentiment here or comedy. The film reminds me a bit of early work from Harmony Korine, but without the intention of shock or mock. This is a powerful film that seems stands alone and is constantly threatening to slip and fall into unforgiving waters. Potent stuff. |
| User ReviewJamison RReplacing any narrative with visuals was a bold technique, but doesn't serve the story well. There are some beautiful shots but as a whole it's a bit messy |
