‘Priorities’ isn’t necessarily based on a true story; it devotes itself to society today and doesn’t hide away from the truth that all teenagers face. ‘Priorities’ shows the stories that all parents dread when they leave the home left with their young careless teenager. It peaks into the life of teenagers and the effects you’re friends have on you which constantly fires the consequences and truths at its audience. It portrays the scariest truths about trying to impress ‘friends’ who don’t really care and shows the heart pounding guilt and punishment of the young child who makes these mistakes.
While the hangover and Due Date are both set out to entertain the audience, Priorities is recognised for its use of realism. Producers Amber Fallon-O’Sullivan, Katie Dowling and Miriam Husain deliver an emotionally honest portrait of reality today. A piercing glimpse into the unspeakable truths of the youths in society and what kicks they get just to have fun. Ironically, for a film fuelled by unbroken trust and mistakes that are made, she exhibits a great deal of innocence. Amber Fallon - O'Sullivan shines a new light on short films and breaks down the barrier of keeping short films at short film festivals as this film deserves to be on the big screen and the back of buses in central London. An outstanding performance from Amy (Rojin Kazemi), a Character who invites us into her life, showing us an insight to the typical teenage issues, whilst uncovering the social pressure and effect it has on a Family bond.
This film is both compelling and captivating and portrays a message to not only teenagers, but everyone. It allows us to ask the questions: Do I fit on? Do I have someone to talk to? Amy is a young much like a lot of people were or are, interested in school at bullied/hated for it. An array of jealous people arrives at her party she throws in order to become known. Instead she is beaten back down to where she’s always been, however this time with a shelf full of consequences and punishments.
‘Don’t worry, we’ll put it on private’ are the words Amy’s mate tell her before the party and are the words Amy wishes she never heard. ‘Priorities’ teaches its audience the worse and the worst things you could do portray your parents and with its amazing cast of actors and reaction it’s received, the Producers – Amber Fallon-O’Sullivan, Mriam Hussain and Katie Dowling efforts have paid off and all have something to be proud of.
(With my first draft of review, and having done my research into film reviews, the layout is now something I need to focus on)
