Story of a Content Creator Lacks Content

An adventure sport vlogger has a dull job and lives for escape, posting videos online of her weekend activities and talking about them with her followers.She sets out to climb a sea cliff solo, but sadly it becomes clear very quickly that there is not enough material for a full-length film, and production has been rushed. Continuity errors abound and the sense of purpose evaporates. Hope, the vlogger, seems to take hours walking to the start of the climb, despite pointing it out immediately behind her early in the morning. Although the timer on her camera indicates it is late morning when she stops at a lighthouse and a ruined building, shadows and low sun suggest late afternoon. Equipment comes and goes - ropes appear and disappear; even an entire rucksack. Her camera is in 24-hour clock mode at 17:00, but shows 12:31 in the middle of the night. If the action was involving, we might not notice (or care), but not enough happens to distract us.It is no spoiler to say the climb doesn't go to plan and from that point onwards the pace becomes even more glacial. There are several "with one mighty leap our hero was free" moments as Hope plunges further into adversity.An odd tonal shift at the end adds a few minutes to the story but cannot salvage the film, unfortunately. Covid must have caused some logistic difficulties in filming, but not enough to wipe away the flaws. A 45-minute story, stretched to 97.

How Did This Get Published?

The acting is possibly the strongest aspect of this film, and the actor (the cast is ONE actress) is amateur at best.The writing is laughable, with her forced monologues of spoken thoughts worded awkwardly and nowhere near believable.The cinematography is non-existent.The score is one-dimensional.Production is decent if this were a home movie recorded on an iPhone 5.The actress is almost pretty enough to carry you through the drudge of a story, but her bushy contrasting eyebrows and her beaver mouth are too much to look past. And don't get me started on the sound of her wailing. Holy Mother of God. She deserves the award for most wretched, annoying, ear-stabbing "screaming" ever recorded. It's physically painful to listen to her and I can't discern the laughs from the screams, but it's all auditory terrorism.Nothing even happens in the story.I want the last 90min of my life back.Contrary to the protagonist's catch phrase, there is NO hope for this piece of trash movie. I feel slighted for being forced to give this 1 star rather than the zero it deserves, but that's a limitation of IMDb's rating system.Don't waste your time.
