Ralph Winston has never cried; not when he was a baby, not when his heart was crushed by his high school sweetheart, not even when he first saw Steven Spielberg's E.T. So when his father dies, Ralph - age 32 - decides to embark upon a true emotional journey with hopes to shed his first tear before the funeral - and before it's not too late.

Reviews

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Man Who Never Cried" is an American 25-minute short film from 5 years ago. The writer and director here is Bradley Jackson. Lead actor is Keir O'Donnell. Honestly, after watching this film I am not too surprised that these two did not manage big breakthroughs in the years since this was made, especially Jackson. It is a very try-hard attempt at comedy and drama and at times it is almost painful to watch how desperate this film seems in trying to evoke emotion from its audience. The problem is that nothing feels really authentic in this film. But it does make obvious again how scary clowns are really. At no point, I cared for the main character and its badly written actions. I do not recommend watching one and people who give it a 10/10 should really ask themselves if this is a contender for best film of all time. Enough said. Thumbs down from me.

limniscate This was an endearing short film with great performances all around. A novel concept keeps you interested until the end. The story follows Ralph "Rafe" Winston, a professional clown who has peculiarly never cried in his life, not even from the death of his father. He meets Ginny, a client who has hired him for her son's birthday. The two develop a more intimate relationship as the film progresses culminating in a heart-touching ending. The style of the film resembles Big Fish and Little Children--not a bad thing since those are great films. Jess Weixler (Teeth) and Keir O'Donnell (My Generation) put in noteworthy performances as well. The film is capped off by a great score from veteran Halli Cauthery (The Town).
