It's not you, it's me



Gilian Jacob's performance in the short It's Not You, It's Me, by Matt Spicer, is very believable,  Her portrayal of the normalcy and the madness of her character was very spot on.  I was definitely shocked as the boyfriend slipped and fell onto the coffee table, and have that piece of glass stabbed into his body.  It was definitely the moment the dark enter the comedy.  And well, the dark and the comedy is pretty obvious in the short.  Viewers can already guess what will happen to her husband and her kids as they were making all the noises at the dinner table and messing with the food and all that.  The ending bit, is where the comedy lies, with the three luggages behind in the trunk and Jacobs sobbing and driving in the front.  The cycle just never ends, does it.
