Bear (2011 film)

Bear is a 2011 Australian short black comedy drama film directed by Nash Edgerton and written by David Michod and Nash Edgerton. The film had its world premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival onMay 2011.

The film earned mainly positive reviews from critics. Ivan Kander of short of the week gave film the positive review said Edgerton isnt trying to surprise youhe already pulled off that magic trick once with Spider. Instead, hes reveling a bit in a sort of misanthropic playground. Our protagonist is a cartoon character of sortsthe Wile E. Coyote of cinematic schadenfreude. Hes always getting himself, and his loved ones, into the darndest, deadliest situations. And, all the while, we cant help but laugh at his misfortune. David Brook of blue print review gave the film three and a half out of five stars and said A sequel to Spider, Bear basically replays the gag in a new setting. Predictable of course for this reason, but still funny and well produced. Another critic in his review said that Reviewing a film this short is going to be fairly similar to reviewing an advert, because and with so little time to build character or a world, it essentially comes down to did you did or did you didnt like the punch. In this case, I did, it gave me a legitimate I didnt see that coming moment, upon the fact that it was coolly put together and even pulls of a very impressive stunt. Not one Ill remember for the rest of my days for sure, but an amusing distraction, which is exactly what I think it was designed to be.
