6/10
Tragedy about doing the right thing

"Most" is a Czech-American movie from over 10 years ago and the title does not refer to the superlative, but is the Czech term for "Bridge". The main character is in charge of operating a bridge, so that ships and trains can pass without trouble, but one day when he brings his son to work, he has to make a fateful decision. I must say that this was a good short movie, but even for half an hour a bit long maybe. The moment of tragedy is really well-executed, also with how we see the man crying from the girl's perspective inside the train. And I think writer and director Bobby Garabedian did a fine job in getting us closer to the people in the train with the little side story about the young blonde woman. He made a fine little movie here and it's a bit of a pity to see that his career has not been blooming in the more than 10 years since this was made. well-deserved Oscar nomination and a moving ending too. Make sure you catch Czech subtitles. it is not 100% necessary to watch this with subs to understand what's going on, but as the two central characters speak Czech only it certainly helps. I recommend this short film. Good job from everybody involved.
