I saw this film on Atomfilms.com "Cold Call" has the seed a what could be a decent feature length film. The director Putschoegl has a good command of camera, and works well with the little he has to work with.
Before I say what is wrong with the film, let's examine what is right. Again, camera, pacing, performance by the stars -- all good.
Joy Jacobson is a tremendous find, and I'll wager, with a good agent, she will have a long, healthful career in films and TV. Her infectious smile, her comedic timing and delivery, her off-beat attractiveness should land her a sitcom spot.
I don't want to discount the others in the cast... everyone made their character bigger than the script could give.
The weakness was the script. While the plot line paved the way for romantic tension, it couldn't follow up. Discord was wrapped-up to quickly, and had a rushed feel -- as if they were running out of light and needed to get the film to the drugstore before it closed.
