Movie # 878 "Just Before Losing Everything" is a very tense short film from the first minute --- a little boy is on his way somewhere, and his teacher stops him and asks where he is going......he lingers under a bridge, does something possibly prophetic with a piece of wood and some stones, until his mother picks him up to take him............where? Nothing is told TO you because YOU are thrown into the action. It is very tense and well acted, and the last shot is one of those that lingers long after the movie ends. I enjoyed this one a lot, and it just might win ---- the one I liked ("helium) might be considered maudlin and manipulative (I have trouble judging that because I don't mind movies I get emotionally attached to) and this is the next best one, for sure!
Just Before Losing Everything (2013) I'd give this 4.5 stars out of 5
"Avant que de tout perdre" (original title)
Miriam, with her two children, escapes her husband, whom she fears.
