Bleeding Love

A neat idea anchored by a lively lead performance and some respectably gross blood effects. I predicted the conclusion halfway in, though that doesn't stop it from being a solid way to wrap up the story.

Brad, 28, suffers from bleeding, a lot, and so a documentary crew follows him around to cover his unusual claret flows and how it affects his daily life.

I'll be upfront here, I'm not a fan of mockumentaries in 48 Hours for reasons I've outlined countless times, but this had a story and was funny plus didn't overly rely on talking heads/describing a comedic element and then reeancting, which is my main personal bugbear with mockos.

The team provided a consistent tone as poor old Brad just wanted to get a 9-5 and find love, and yet things such a detective work and tinder didn't exactly work well for him when the blood starts flowing from a meer papercut.

Good performance by the actor who played Brad, and whilst a bit of a predictable ending it wrapped things up nicely with the gushing kiss ticking the box for your genre very well. Technically a bit raw, but covered by selling the idea of it being a handheld shot documentary.

Story: 2/5
Technical: 2.5/5
Elements: 2.5/5
Overall: 2/5

Hey team, well done with the film - really enjoyed it!
I thought the video was well shot, the story flowed, totally got everything that was going on - and was wondering how it was going to end - was glad it concluded in a way that didn't feel rushed.
Had me laughing pretty quick and often, creative use of blood, I think the acting was good - really enjoyed it team.

Good job!
