Movie review

From Short Review - NY

**** (Four stars)
This series of short films explores how everyday people must confront situations that will inevitably change their lives forever. From a ten-year-old drug dealer hustling in the slums of Israel to a young man grappling with his God-like healing powers, each extraordinary character has to make an epic decision under extreme duress. The subject matter of the films is intense, and the visuals often cringe-inducing. Though they left me needing a stiff drink and a session with my therapist, these shorts were a moving reminder that the course of your life can indeed change in an instant.—Shaina Park, classifieds account manager
