Movie Review: Yellow(2024)

A filmed directed and written by Darren James King starring Ayvianna Snow, Cameron Bell and Michelle MacRae

The performance was amazing. The characters creepiness shined through the screen. The uncomfortable sense from beginning to the end was not only terrifying, but also hollowing seeing it through the whole film. Creating the suspense and curiosity from the beginning and revealing in the end gave a very uncomfortable feeling. The ladies were hard to watch. Not in the sense that it was a terrible performance but you can see them thinking about everything and regretting every minute of that moment. Their life slowly and slowly coming down the the last seconds and having to hold with physical pain after in that very room.

The film was gloomy and dark. It is a great example of if you have a high quality in camera, lighting, sound as well as performance, you'll create that suspense and anticipation for the audience for the lady to get out of this horrendous place.

However, I did find the film showing how powerless these two ladies are which broke my heart. I didn't like seeing them two suffer for a man who trapped prosecutors for pleasure. The story was definitely interesting, unexpected but also a reality check. Their are many people and family members who do have experienced this as well as psychopath who finds pleasure killing others. The way women were being treated was grim and disgusting.

However, there are topics that she is a prosecutors and I'm sure many would if she didn't do this job, she wouldn't have ended up here. For me, I was watching a Youtube video of Thai prosecutors talking about their experiences and majority are got in to the industry because of trauma experiences. One was lied to by her boyfriend, hurt by her step father. There were also by choice.

In the film, we do not know what her back story is but all we know but this reminded me a lot about this documentary. Jaw dropping, Sympathy and trauma. This is why I love short films, we see only what the film allows us to see and we debate what her story was. This remains a secret.

The film showed a bird many times which makes me think that Darren James King is trying to show us as the bird who is just watching him hurt these women and not being able to do anything. That is a great way to bring the audience closer to the situation more and can't help but see the victims go through getting beat up
