A group of friends reunite for a pre-wedding party, but the night takes the most unexpected turn when one of them reveals what he has brought with him.
It’s not a film until it’s edited – Michael Kahn.
The new kind of filmmaking that works miracles. So… metric editing, rhythmic editing, fast-paced editing, slow-paced editing, match-cuts, snappy cuts, and then… protracted shots, colourful shots, close-ups, great soundtrack, funny dialogue, realistic dialogue, great story, even greater plot, realistic performances, surrealistic development… You name it! Until all goes to hell!
It’s What’s Inside is such great fun to watch! To the point where everyone reveals who they really are and what they are capable of. And then it’s fun as much as it is a thrill. Everything you wish doesn’t happen; it happens to the extreme.
Writer/editor/director Greg Jardin, director of photography Kevin Fletcher, and composer Andrew Hewitt understand comedy and thriller separately and audiovisually unite them in unexpected ways that will make you laugh while keeping you on the edge of your seats. The animated pictures, the decisions each character makes, the roles they choose to take, the way they act, and the way they react to the new data every time make It’s What’s Inside one of the most entertaining rides Netflix has to offer.
Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Gavin Leatherwood, Nina Bloomgarden, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Reina Hardesty, Devon Terrell, David Thompson, and Madison Davenport understand Jardin’s vision and perform remarkably in front of the camera.
Entertainment aside, though, the film raises a thought-provoking philosophical aspect: identity! What is identity? Who are we? What makes us who we are? Are we all right with whoever we are or think we are? Are we happy in our own skin? What is happy anyway? Consequently, if there were no consequences, how far outside the law and ethics would we go to satisfy these suppressed legal and moral restraints that have bound us ever since we can remember ourselves?
