bitch..... he was literally the most creepy dude i have ever seen besides c*sey affleck how did she not Get A Vibe

I liked the juxtaposition of the cheery and colorful palette of the time period that Dawn is set in and the harsh reality of what can happen to those too precious to see how truly dangerous the world is. Can't wait to see more from first-time director Rose McGowan!

Boy @ Dawn: I saw you and thought "What a lonely girl" and I thought that maybe if I talked to you, you wouldn't be so lonely anymore

Me @ Dawn: DAWN!!! 🙅 STAY the FUCK ❌❌ AWAY FROM HIM ! ❌❌ STAY the fuck!!! 🙅❌ Get the FUCK AWAY from HIM!! ❌🙅 FUCK!!! GET AWAY!! 🙅❌❌🙅

I can appreciate what McGowan's doing/saying with this, but I still don't like it much.

I enjoyed it. It reminded me of the kind of idea my film school friends would have in college, from inception all the way through the tone and pace.

Rose McGowan's directorial debut has its strengths (colorful, well-structured cinematography, solid editing, and an established tone and atmosphere), but unfortunately a good screenplay is not one of them.  The difficult task of short films (it clocks in at 17 minutes) is to produce a narrative experience that stimulates the viewer's attention and manages to tell a story from beginning to end in a small amount of time.  This fails to do so, leaving the viewer feeling less than satisfied.  The acting is also not very good.  It's not horrible, you can just tell the players are acting.  No one seems to be truly living their circumstances on-screen.  
      McGowan seems to have a visual eye and a feel for tone, so she definitely seems to have a future in filmmaking; she just needs to collaborate with better screenwriters.

jesus
lynchian it follows vibe

Really nails teen interactions in a way that is both deeply touching and deeply disturbing.

The late 50's atmosphere was aesthetically quite beautiful and haunting, but the messages about sexism were not strong enough to connect to the end. Things like this do happen, but they seemed forced in this short. The directing was good, but not so much the screenplay.

the scariest thing is that those two characters could be anyone. A girl who is afraid to be a dissapointment and and boy who's just wanted to see what it was like. anybody.

the best way to describe this is simple yet effective. i watched Dawn right after listening to an interview with rose where she mentioned it - she certainly shows some promise as a director here and i'd be interested to see a feature length project from her

Nobody does that

The last line of this film explains the film's raison d'être, and it is far from compelling.
