Synopsis
A patient arrives to hospital accident and emergency and is left to wait in a corridor as there are no beds available. A companion arrives and they pass the time reflecting and playing games, but someone is not who they seem.
Our Review
Corridor by Rod Glenn and Kathryn Sabourn is a masterfully crafted short film that draws viewers into familiarity before revealing its deeper truth. It’s about waiting—in hospitals and in life—grasping at memories that inevitably fade.
The performances are exceptional, particularly in their restraint. The patient’s slow realization is portrayed with heartbreaking subtlety, while the mother’s presence carries a warmth that lingers even after she is gone.
The cinematography’s long, lingering shots highlight isolation, while soft, dreamlike lighting creates quiet intimacy. Thoughtful dialogue adds nostalgia and simplicity, gradually leading to a heartbreaking realizatio
