You know what? For a very low-budge film, I thought the filmmakers and actors did a reasonably good job.

Granted, it looks like it was shot with a handy cam, or something, and the sound wasn't all that great. But it doesn't really matter.

Clocking in at just under an hour, "Reticent" is sweet, corny, tragic and, frankly, at least for me, captivating. It's also quite sweet in many ways, and the dialogue, while not stellar, is passable.

I love stumbling across indy films that are watchable, and "Reticent" is about as indy as you can get.

When I saw that the film had no previous reviews or even ratings on IMDB, I knew I had to at least give it a shot. I'm glad I did.

I give it a 7/10 because of the effort put into the film. It really can't be compared to anything I've seen, and I did quite enjoy the experience. What more could you ask for in a film such as this?

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
