Sadly Over-hyped

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

a touching film. for the simplicity of story, for the delicate emotion, for the characters and for role of seed. a film about solitude and love sens, about the need of love and about happiness. nothing new or complicated.only two admirable actors creating the sketches of ordinary people more than silhouettes. a romantic movie , beautiful for reflecting the searches of young man to escape from its life and the meeting, almost magic, with his soul mate. its romanticism is special because seems be out of the old recipes. because it reflect, in touching manner, the reality. that could be its secret. and its fascination source.

It seems rather odd that Disney received the Oscar for Best Animated Short considering that much of this plot seems inspired by this earlier film, "Signs". See them both--you'll probably see what I mean.The film is done without verbal dialog. A young man is working in the big city and is feeling alienated and alone. As a result, he seems to be just going through the paces in life. However, one day as he looks out the window of the office where he works, he sees a cute lady in the building next door. And, surprisingly, she draws a little sign and soon they begin conversing and telling jokes from their respective jobs. But, they don't meet in person. What's next? See it and find out for yourself.This film is excellent because it shows what can be done without dialog. Despite this limitation, the film is quite touching and clever. Very well done and well worth your time...and quite original.

2009 Cannes winner Short film ''SIGNS'' is an amazing romantic short film. This 12 minutes speechless film is about a lonely boy who start communicating with a cute girl in next building using written signs and eventually they met each other. With a very simple concept, creative director Patrick Hughes made a master piece, actually one of sweetest films i have ever seen. This short film might seems quiet unrealistic , but i think most people don't to want to see daily boring mundane reality at film. They rather wish some fantasy and unrealistic events unconsciously.I think the message of the short film is : Love doesn't always talk , sometimes might be expressed even from a piece of paper. In a world of social networking and cellphone, signs are still powerful as long as they mean a lot.Whole film is well edited and I think background music really is cool and quiet touchy , but over exaggerated Techno sound effects which made it less emotional. Couple of humorous scenes and at ending part both of the characters' anxiety and final meeting sensational scene made whole film extraordinary . Besides, within only 12 minutes representing 8 days stories is a very hard job, which Patrick Hughes have done very smoothly.

I really like this short movie. Just pay attention, there is not even one word, but everything is so clear and lovely. Nice story line, nice play of actors. During those twelve minutes this movie puts a smile on your face several times and it means that this movie really worth to watch. Recently watched "Valentine day". I would not even put this movie in the same line with "Signs". I love the music as well, nice changes in the melody line and great track at the end of movie. Thank you very much and I hope to see more of your great job in near future. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
