(“short-form”
film; director/screenwriter: Lonnie Martin)
Review
Sasha (Rebecca Hausman), a teenage girl disgusted by her mother’s promiscuity, isn’t into sex. Bastet, Sasha’s mother (Kendra North), argues with her daughter, telling her she should embrace her sexuality while she’s young and beautiful. When a classmate (Stuart, played by Charlie Dreizen) walks Sasha home, the release she’s been denying herself comes to the fore with messy results.
Lonnie Martin’s seventeen-minute film short is fun. Its intertangled, non-explicit carnal themes are little more than wordplay cleverness (bolstered by solid performances), but to criticize a movie this brief for not further developing the link between sex and its other themes seems clueless. While COUGARS does not go anywhere surprising, it’s a promising short-form film with reasonable─given its limited budget─effects.
