With some good ideas and a length that doesn't out-do its subject matter, Rachel Turk's debut short, Feeling Lonely, feels quite fresh. Angus Robertson plays Rob, a young man enjoying the 'talents' of 45-year old "Mother Manchester" on an internet stream. It's all enjoyable at first, but things are not as they seem. Turk uses her film to comment on new media and communications in a land of voyeurism and it works for the most part. It has a slick look thanks to some good cinematography and sharp editing - unfortunately, Angus Robertson doesn't feel right as Tom; he overplays. All things considered, it's a solid debut from Turk.
6.5 on the DaveScale.
