The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent

Pretty solid, but it does definitely feel more like a tech demo than an actual story. I do wish it had an actual ending.

5/10

8.3 - This felt the shortest of all the 2025 Oscar Live Shorts, but its impact was undeniable.

A (seemingly true?) story of a man standing up directly against active fascist action while hundreds sit by, as most probably would. A strong start to the set, with tight and personal cinematography that really underlined the personal nature of such a typically abstract idea.
