Zero

For a part of public of this short drama, the start point of interest can be Lyanna Mormont from "GoT". It is a good start point. Because Bella Ramsey is ...great. Real great, just great, supporting the entire film with precise force. Giving the exact expected story about daughterhood and about survive. Cold and inspired and precise acting , served by beautiful cinematography, creating a lovely parable about indertictions, relations with the past, rules and fundamental decision. The last scene reminds "The Planet of Apes". Or "2001. A <Space Oddisey". It is not exactly a coincidence. Only what you deserves . So, Bella Ramsey. And her great, great, admirable at whale, work.

...and yet left me wondering what the point was. Another doomsday, apocalypse, end of the world drama only this time without a conclusion? "...leave the house". Maybe I just will...

Filmmakers sometimes make shorts as pitches for a longer film, and maybe that's what this is. But standing by itself, this little film doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it about loneliness? A meditation on the presumed hardships of survival on the remnants of modern technology? Is it about human self-destructiveness? Is it about the aftermath of a war between humans and aliens, or between humans armed with gigantic fighting machines? Unfortunately, the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

Loved every second of this short film such a scary concept being left alone and great acting from Bella Ramsey. I highly recommend you watch this short emotional film if you have a spare 15 Minutes as it is full of loneliness as it really does leave you on the edge of your seat.

"Zero" isn't really a standalone story with a clear beginning and ending. In fact, it feels more like a scene taken from a longer post-apocalyptic film-something cut from the early part of a much bigger narrative. There are key details we wish we knew before the events in this clip take place, and the ending strongly hints that this is just the start of a long journey into the unknown. After seeing it, you'll likely be left wanting more-at least I was!

That said, if you're watching Zero just for Bella Ramsey, you won't be disappointed. She delivers a solid performance, once again proving that casting her in a major role in The Last of Us was a smart decision. She truly seems born to play characters in post-apocalyptic worlds.
