LAST CHAPTER, THE

Hmmm, interesting premise for a storyline - finding a book telling the story of a young boy's life.

What I love about student films is the quirky storylines they come up with. This one is unique and not one I have seen before.

The film is well executed, with some lighting issues - especially for interior shots. The use of the clock shows the passage of time. The two boys who are the only characters in the film, are friends, and discuss the book together, trying to figure out what it means. They are well played and the camera follows them from house to walking to the park, and elsewhere. I like the synchronized fall into the swings at the park. The ending is abrupt and appropriate - the book ends with the one boy's death and it's not clear if that is what happens here, which leads to a suspenseful ending.

I give The Last Chapter 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

This is a drama about a boy who finds a book that tells the story of his life. The last chapter is his death.
