Motion has occasional powerful moments scattered through often boring scenes of a homeless man trying to survive on the streets of Brighton, England.
At times I was captivated, but frequently throughout the 70 minute film I found myself wondering when it would end. The scene that intrigued me most was of the woman in the alley. Is she dead? This is never answered or explored.
Tom Clay used a DV camera to film Motion, and some of the results are interesting. Hopefully next time he will use a better soundtrack than the terrible electronic song playing throughout most of the movie. It is not a treat for the ears.
I picked this as one of the five films at the Victoria Film Festival that I would take in, and I definitely regret choosing this over some other films such as the two new Danny Boyle films. There weren't many people in attendance, but some of those that did go walked out during the film. I would not sit through this again.
