I can’t believe that this man hasn’t ever gone to Drama School! His acting is soooo good and raw and authentic that I honestly don’t know what to say...he is sooo talented and he definitely needs more recognition
It doesn't even seem like he's acting. It almost seems a real conversation between two friends/lovers that were accidentally filmed by someone with a camera who was hiding in the room. What I'm trying to say is that he made it look so incredibly real. This is pure talent, wow.
Thats just it. Humans aren't complicated by design. Greed, vanity, insecurities etc are what make so many complicated. There are so few of us that always tell the truth others. So few of us that really don't care how others see us either.
His performance is absolutely incredible, and not just here, in general, his emotions are so natural, as well as his reactions. Very inspiring for those pursing an acting career. I will continue to study his work. Beautiful work from everyone involved.
I initially fell in love with Robert in Misfits and have been following his career since. I love him in everything he touches. Robert is so passionate and fcukin talented it hurts & he's only got sexier the older he's got. I have nothing but admiration and a deep love. ❤
the long almost 10 minute one take, very very realistic. you don’t get jump cuts or second chances in real life. this was an incredibly realistic view into a relationship that so many people are in or have been in
This is brilliantly performed, directed and written, but I found it physically painful to watch at times - especially the ending after he’s promised he’s not seeing anyone else, and the guilt-tripping line ‘I stayed with you through that dark time’. Super powerful, hits very close to home so this is a wonderful piece of art but also uncomfortable viewing. Amazing job to the whole team behind it!
If any of you have yet to see him in "The Road Within" you MUST watch it! BRILLIANT. He plays a character with severe Tourettes. Also stars Zoë Kravitz and Dev Patel
Ahhh I watched this the other day. I have Tourettes too and it was so accurate and depicted it perfectly. His acting is so raw and emotional I've never seen a movie portray Tourettes so well. Its so cool that he played a character with a condition which isn't represent much in Hollywood. The fact that he went for it and killed it and even used method acting makes me feel like he understands something about us with Tourettes that the rest of the world can't.
@@wings-of-dawn right!? That scene when he runs out of the funeral and has that devastated guteral scream...gives me legitimate shivers. Stuck me to my core. After loving misfits when it first aired I knew he would be big. The same way I felt about seeing James McAvoy in UKs Shameless. So raw and BRILLIANT. I think alot of people assume everyone that has tourettes yells out when many don't. Its such a wide spectrum of disease. People are slowly getting a more understanding socially about it here. Its movies like that and real youtube people which help others understand. 💕
@Amy Stone yesss it felt so real I cried during that scene. But most people with Tourettes have echolalia where we repeat sounds and parts of words, but Hollywood has only really focused on cases of Tourettes with swearing and obscene phrases or sentences (coprolalia) even though they only make up 15% of all people with Tourettes. It does annoy me that people often say "oh so you have Tourettes....so do you swear and stuff" because it's really not common for people with Tourettes to do that, it's just that those are the cases that get the exposure in the media and in Hollywood and now everyone this THAT is what Tourettes is. It definitely different for everyone though and I'm so glad the movie also focused on the physical side a lot more as well.
@@wings-of-dawn so true! Ive ton a TON of research on Tourettes because my daughter developed a *neuro* condition almost 2 years ago. There are many similarities with tourettes. For her, the past 2 years anyway, it comes every few months. May I ask, how old you were when it started and was it just gradual or did it happen it chunks at a time then just became for constant? If I post my email to you, would you feel comfortable emailing me about it? If not I understand!
@@amylee3531 wow you're an amazing mother. And absolutely!!! I'm happy to email and answer any questions. For me I started showing signs when I was 8. Its was little tics like shoulder shrugging and tightening stomach muscles. I was diagnosed with involuntary muscular tics. After a year they subsided and we thought it was gone but then when I was 11 they came back full force with the addition of vocal tics, which meant we could then get the diagnosis of Tourettes. I'm 22 now and it's died down somewhat but always flares up and down.
Incredible writing. I’ve literally had pieces of this argument played out in my past. Love the whole concept and the filming. Beautifully heartbreaking.
I've literally just finished the second season of misfits and now I'm seeing one of the most vulnerable performances of Robert Sheehan, WOW such a great actor.
Okay.. so this may be a dumb question... but do they have focus pullers when they shoot on film!? I’ve only ever had the opportunity to work with digital cameras, and the cinematography on this project is mind blowing. The lighting is fucking incredible. The blocking is out of this world.. it truly feels like different takes. I can’t wait to see what both of these directors come up with in the future! 🤯
This short film is actually incredibly difficult to watch, and I mean that in the best way possible; my heart was pounding the entire time. I think a lot of people including myself connect with this story (however short of a snippet). I know I was going through a wide range of emotions throughout the film because- although not identical- it felt like a reflection of experiences and conversations I have had in the past. It was painful and breathtaking. I genuinely did not think I could have such strong emotions in response to a short 10 minute story. Congratulations to the cast and crew! Thank you for this insight into love and relationships and for producing something that so many of us can relate to. To identify with.
I kept waiting for the scene to cut and it just....didn't???? This one shot is absolutely incredible and clearly took a lot of hard work from everyone!!!
hes such a real scene stealer, hes never failed to steal all spotlight regardless of whos starring next to him. hes getting bigger and bigger every year.
so beautiful, i felt so bad for him, then the end hit my heart like a truck. such good acting, they both do such a good job of seeming open but confused.
Everything Robert ever does is pure gold..he is in quite a few other amazing shorts, also..and of course his TV series and movies. I first fell in ♥️ with him in Misfits, & after so many years of watching him, I have never been disappointed !
I love how real this was. I felt like my emotions were all together here. Sometimes they feel like a knot. Both actors were incredible and wow, one take. Great job xxx
i was cheated on but i understand why..i was so distant we barely talked he didn't know why and he kept trying to get to me but i was just too scared,he told me about him cheating i didn't even notice and i didn't react at all just like "oh i see" ofc we broke up because the whole thing was just messy and he moved on,so did i in a way..i realized how scared i'm of intimacy which ruined other relationships(they wanted something i couldn't give) for me, i'm a very private person when shit goes down hill i deal with it on my own i don't like relaying on others or being vulnerable..3 years have passed and nothing has changed for me but i'm okay not hurting anyone or getting hurt and i hope he's okay too
Amazing!! I've watched as much of Robert's work as I can find, he's such a brilliant actor, such emotion he brings out in such a wide range of characters. It says so much that in 10 short minutes he can make you feel so much, so invested in a character and what you think he's feeling. Loved it! And that's not even mentioning how hot he is! I did try not to, keep it about the performance, but I'm only human!
Amazing short film. The cinematography and lighting work so well, keeping an atmosphere that really echoes the script. The writing and acting really helps define the moment and being a done in just one shot only accentuates that. An amazing creation.
Wow, really brilliant. Sheehan and Day are a great pair; they really complimented each other in this. Amazing writing too, I’m blown away by how emotional this was in such few words. A full range of emotions in ten minutes. Reminds me of “Early Autumn” the short story by Langston Hughes.
Great depiction of the wonderful joys of relationships lmao. Sometimes we love the notion of love so much that we forget how much it hurts and fucks u right over
