Our Review:
Kudos to the writer. Most of the elements required for a good screenplay is in place. Like a puzzle, each scene fills the place well and gives a story worth sharing. Our lady Jordon - the protagonist of this script, her character is well-rounded, believable and authentic. The protagonist’s ability to fix a problem has enabled the story to develop and move forward. Though Jordon is strong, no dramatics, just business sort of person, she comes with her own flaws. This makes us connect to a character unlike portraying the protagonist as God-like. This story has good amount of twist & turns, and surprise elements. But a little more depth & clarity is required to justify why Mayvie does certain things.
The plot has well tied the events in the story together, but why does it all happen? is the mystery unexplained.
The structure of the script is well woven, with the events moving steadily between the present & the past well defined when they occur. "Sweat" is a story worth sharing.
