“Look I know Jesus suffered a lot, but did he suffer as much as me” This is a feature length film so I’m gonna rate it properly the same way I rate all my films.  I like a lot of student short films, but I thought it would be a real struggle to get through an hour and twenty minute film but it wasn’t, it was funny and entertaining and a good fucking idea that I wish I had first. Very jealous.  Jamie is genuinely a good actor and good director and a big congrats to him for being able to start and finish something like this. The editing was really good and there was some really good shots in there which is hard to do with just tripod stuff when your filming yourself.  Jamie plays a relatable and interesting character and both of the parents (and jack) were such good actors that I stopped being able to tell if this was a film or just Jamie recording his life.  The interview stuff felt so awkward and it was so relatable. I felt scared for Jamie as he walked around with a microphone with his dad filming him.  Even the slightly less interesting moments in the middle were filled with so many funny moments.  The longer this went on the more I started to worry that this was genuinely real and I felt a little worried for Jamie’s safety.  Surprisingly emotional scene at the end aswell.  to anyone who follows me on this app I genuinely recommend this film. Thank you Jamie for motivating me to try and make something just like you have.  I really wanna act in one of your films some time.  7.5/10 - which is a good score considering I’m ranking this higher than a lot of films which Hollywood budgets.
