'Jump' Film Review

   

        Jump is an Irish film about Greta, charming yet incredibly lost, who is set on committing suicide by jumping off a bridge on New Year's Eve, but instead meets a guy she becomes fond of and is wrapped up in a predicament due to the fact that her father is involved in the mob.

       The film was nicely shot and the lighting was magical. The shot composition was spot-on, and the close-ups were used thoughtfully and with purpose. The scenes at night were well-lit and the non-linear structure was made easy to follow. A few of my favorite shots was the establishing shot of Greta standing on the bridge and the extreme close-up of her eyes. The irony was employed very well with Marie and Dara with their comical conflict in the third act.
