You're not ready for this. Trust me you can furrow a brow and scoff but you're not ready for "Reunion." Hard as I tried, I sat for twelve minutes attempting to uncover what surprise twist "Reunion" was feed me, I was worried director Adam Kargman would go for a swift and brutal twist instead of a simple dramatic representation of life.

 Kargman ops for mostly silence during his visit through assorted scenarios where a young couple propose to one another, a woman writing a best seller, all of whom are identified by their real names that dissolves in to the slew of scenarios they could have found them in. Were it not for senseless disgusting tragedy that destroyed homes and the nation as we knew it. But as hard as it was for us to endure the “zero tolerance” policies and endure finger pointing and blaming, many people lost their lives without a voice or reason and Kargman puts it all in to perspective. If only we took enough time to mourn them than to elicit nationwide hysteria to obtain some perspective. Mean while there are some damn good performances with Kargman obtains the ability to gather an immense emotional response from the viewer by the actor through honing in on the unanimous emotion of bittersweet subtlety. I really enjoyed what Kargman went for here and the final scene is a grim and heart breaking reminder of what is and who are really important in tragedies such as Columbine and anywhere where senseless violence filled the halls of education.

I haven’t been able to see many short films or films period that have covered this topic, but Kargman takes a spiritual twist to his homage to the lost with a pretty damn good short film obviously constructed with love. We’ll never forget those lost from Columbine..
