Wasp was one of the uncomfortable films I have ever seen. It is a glimpse into the life of a single mother of four. In this brief "snippet"of the life of this family, the mother gets into a physical altercation, fails to feed her children, and leaves her children outside of a pub for hours. The mother sees her old friend Dave while she is walking home with her children. He asks her on a date and she agrees. Failing to find a babysitter, she leaves her children outside of the pub in a desperate attempt to hide her children from Dave.
Throughout the entire film I was on the edge of my seat, literally waiting on something terrible to happen. The shots in this film create a sort of uneasiness in the viewer because of the number of close-ups and shaky camera angles. It was shot very well and had a very interesting, somewhat 90's look to it. I can see why this film won an Academy Award in 2003.
