"The Girl is Mime" is a 7-minute live action short film from 6 years ago. The male mime in here is played by (then not yet) Emmy winner Martin Freeman and he made quite a few short films in his career. The other two actors in here I am not familiar with and same goes for the writer and director: British filmmaker Tim Bunn. A mime is interrogated at the police station. As the film goes on, we find out that he met a girl, she became a mime to and apparently he did something to her. Killed her? I cannot say this was a good watch at all, neither funny nor dramatic and there is another major flaw. The maker treated it like a silent film because of the main character being a mime. But everybody who knows a bit about silent films, will know that mimes were absolutely not an integral part of silent films. Charlie Chaplin was not a mime. Neither was Buster Keaton nor Harold Lloyd. We all saw them talking, we just couldn't hear them. Anyway, elaborating on this would take things too far. I can only say I was not impressed by this movie here. Then again, I may be a bit biased as I am not a great Sherlock or Freeman fan (only Morgan). The word play in the title isn't helping either. Thumbs down for "The Girl Is Mime".
