Five Minutes in Heaven

Looking for the latest new high leads to a heartstopping experience for a hard partying raver, and the gate of heaven prove a little trickier to pop in and out of than he had first imagined.

This film had a really vibrant energy to proceedings, buzzing with warm synths and pulsating dance music from the get go, with a really strong performance by your lead carrying the film.

I think maybe from an engagement point of view given the race against the clock we as viewers knew he was facing that could have been played on even more whether in a comedic or serious fashion? Because whilst the payoff was good those beats in the middle to get there felt like they needed some urgency.

Edit pretty good and VFX for the most part were really well done for a 48 Hours film, particularly the out of body experience and actual trip to the cosmos. The cloudy gates of heaven were glorious, my only minor quibble about the visuals being a couple of shots at the beginning a bit out focus, but this also potentially represented being well beyond the point of being sober.
I was going to comment about a couple of minor keystone warbles but on the whole they gave the film's visuals a point of difference as the key part of the story developed. Sound was good on the whole as well; I liked the water/echoey effects layered on though maybe other foley would have elevated this even further? Just my 2C
