Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Cast: Sam Alton.
We are arguably incapable of dealing with the benefit of the internet without descending to the point of the rabble rousing crowd and the actions of the school yard bully; no matter the virtue that can be found in social media, there is an open wound in which we cannot but help pick at, keep scratching at till it bleeds, and in the end we end up looking for friendship in all the wrong places.

The sacred act of the promise is such that the one put under pressure to preserve their word can act as a conduit to a breakdown, the silence overwhelming, the bond unfairly skewed in the favour of the one whose secret acts like an infection, mutating, twisting, until it becomes unrecognisable. Not all promises are the same, however, the ones that dig into the psyche, the ones that precede a climatic, even devastating event, are the one that we feel are the ones where no one in the end comes out it with their self-assurance, intact.

We must always remember that we don’t truly understand, not completely, how another person feels, that despite the smiles and triumphant words shown and yelled to the world, we have no way of knowing the pain they suffer behind closed doors. The world of social media has perhaps exacerbated that sense of false bonhomie, putting on a face for the world in digital form when all you want to do is lock yourself away and deal with the grief that has been placed at your door.
