I did not know what to expect when I watched this short movie. The topic is close to my heart so I was half expecting a documentary on the issue. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The movie was simply and interview between a really ambitious female CEO candidate and an old school Chairman of the Board. You never find out what the company does but that doesn't better, at least not to me. The dialogue between them is laser sharp and I ended up not liking the woman at all. I felt guilty about that but at the end I think I see that was some of the point. She plays the part so well you forget that she is only an actor! I was shouting at the screen at one stage! The male lead carries it off really well. It's is very believable. The ending is very clever and I guarantee you will not see it coming! If you do fair play though. Well worth 20 odd minutes of your time IMHO.

Didn't know what to expect, but was interested in the topic. The film raises some talking points and I think it will strike a chord with anyone who has had to prove themselves against bias at an interview. The film presents the issues on both sides of the argument and leaves the viewer to make up their own mind on the questions raised. It is perhaps a little long (22min) for a short, but really gets going half way through and is definitely well worth watching.
The characters were well cast. I went between liking and disliking each of the characters at different moments. I think the film should be shown in schools as it would provoke great debate - who was right, who was wrong?
