Reviews:
"C U Next Tuesday is a hilariously relatable short that turns the everyday frustration of booking a doctor’s appointment into a biting, brilliantly timed comedy. With sharp writing and a standout lead performance, the film captures the universal agony of dealing with overly chipper receptionists and painfully bureaucratic phone calls -with a bold, cathartic twist. The film is carried by its tone-perfect balance of realism and absurdity. From the jittery pre-call nerves to the mounting tension as the conversation spirals, every beat feels both familiar and exaggerated in the best way. The production design and sound subtly heighten the discomfort, while never distracting from the perfectly delivered dialogue.
What truly makes the short sing is its lead performance - anchoring the comedy in genuine emotion while delivering the final outburst with pitch-perfect timing. It’s a comedic release that feels earned, not just for the character, but for everyone who’s ever wanted to scream into the void of automated customer service. C U Next Tuesday is a confident and razor-sharp directorial debut that uses comedy as both catharsis and critique. It’s short, punchy, and wildly satisfying - a clever takedown of modern-day admin madness that will leave audiences laughing and nodding in agreement." - Big Fridge International Film Festival 2025
