Reviews:

Slight but very enjoyable and well made.
This film was made in the Palestinian territory and is a comedy about three Jewish people who become stranded there when they smash into a statue of the Virgin Mary at a small nunnery. The problem is that the nuns have taken a vow of silence and the Jewish folks are very observant…so strict as Jews that they cannot use telephones to call for help! What are they to do?

I enjoyed this film and it made me smile. I found the ending a bit predictable but a finely acted and clever short. While I don’t think it’s the very best of these shorts, it is unusual and sometimes happy films have an edge in winning simply because Academy voters seem to prefer nice shorts as opposed to down-beat ones…and three are very, very downbeat.

Whether or not this one wins, I’ll update this review about this. If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on this short–though as I said I don’t think it’s the very best of the lot.

UPDATE: “Stutterer” took the Oscar for Best Live Action Short.

The longer it goes, the more forgettable it becomes
“Ave Maria” is a 15-minute live action short film written and directed by Basil Khalil. As this one managed to score an Oscar nomination, it is certainly the filmmaker’s most known work by now. But I hope it is not his best because this would mean that his entire body of work is pretty forgettable. This is the story of an Israeli couple (and the man’s mother) and what happens if their car stops working while they are in front of a church where a quintet of nuns is currently adhering to a vow of silence. And the fact that it’s Sabbath time as well is not helping either as it makes the already difficult task to get a taxi almost impossible. I think the film started in a solid manner overall and it was an okay introduction to the story, even if the nun characters almost all felt interchangeable and the one that did not was given a pretty ridiculous story line eventually with her strong mechanic skills. But while the final solution in this film is pretty interesting and also somewhat funny, this film is pure religion bait with an ultimately not very convincing story that lacks memorable moments and realism. No surprise though the Academy likes stuff like this as it is about collaboration in the most unusual (religious) scenario. The weakest moment of it is probably when pretty early on that statue loses its head as it was obviously done so much for a mix of shock and comedy, but it felt very desperate to me in its attempt to be funny. I guess I can be glad it did not take home the award over the superior “Stutterer”. I don’t recommend watching “Ave Maria” and I hope Khalil can improve with his next projects.
