Movie #2095 ........................."The Dress" (movie theater - oscar-nominated live action short 2022)

 Movie #2095 "The Dress" (movie theater - oscar-nominated live action shorts 2022) This was a very quiet, but constantly simmering type of film to watch concerning a young woman with dwarfism.  We are introduced to her daily life and her want for more.  She has a life-hardened co-worker in Poland at a roadside motel that they both work in as maids.  When a handsome stranger gives her the eye, he ignites her not-so-latent sexual desires, and she dares to hope for romance.  I would have ranked this movie even more if the ending worked for me.  It seemed up in the air, and if you see it, I would love to converse with you on what you got out of it.  But I understood why this was nominated because it works to keep your interest (as mundane as her life is) to the end.  I give it 3.5.

"THE DRESS"      30 MINS                Poland      2021

A woman with limited hopes toils in a rundown motel in rural Poland, as a maid.  Will the repeated visits of an interesting man, a truck driver, change the loneliness of her situation?
