A Little Something: A Little Vignette

Continuing my reviews of time-travel movies - mostly shorts - I (and you) can see for free on Amazon Prime, we come to A Little Something (from 2017 according to Amazon, 2016 according to IMDb - why are there these differences?  who knows ... but I guess they're appropriate to time travel stories).

There are two kinds of shorts: standalone, and complete, which can be made into a longer movie, but that's not necessary; and short sketch vignettes, which are really suggestions for a longer narrative, and don't leave you satisfied on their own.  A Little Something is clearly the latter, and I suppose that's both a criticism and a compliment, because I would like to see more.

An older traveling salesman - though he's not really selling anything - shows up at the home of a young couple.  The wife is suffering from a fatal illness and has just months to live.  The salesman wants to give her a gift - that's why I said he's not selling anything - a cure for her illness which he's sure will work.

The husband and wife resist this - and, again, there's a lot more than could have told and done here.  But the barebones are good, as is the acting, especially by  Brenda Arteaga-Walsh as the wife, and also by Dan Gilvary and Ross Nathan as the husband--

Oops, don't want to give anything more away.   Check out Brett Eichenberger's little movie if you'd like to know more...
