Really smart piece. No proper belly laugh moments but I'm not really caring for this one, funny enough throughout to let that go. Also some proper edgy comments from mom, liked the unsubtle "rag" line to the boyfriend

Well done!

Worked for me.  Not a lot of comedy but enough.  I'm not sure about being a super hero, but she does have super powers.

Very good.

An example of how comedy doesn't need to be burst out laughter rather enjoyable, with some amusing lines and images.

It also had some heart.

Well done. One of the best for me.

While the title fits to the script, it does not make what a title should do, awaken attention.
Why not choose something absurd and striking relating to your sub/theme menstruation f.e.. …

The build-up is very long and dialogue driven. In the last third the characters actually start doing something. I liked the last punch line. Better late than never.
I liked it but the construction and back stories that explain what happens in the family felt expositional wrong… don't force us to listen only, better guide us to see and experience.

Nice spin on a really familiar premise. The dialogue is serviceable and to the point, but a little flat and cursory for my taste, especially considering the weight of the conversation. Can't put my finger on it exactly, as I reread it a few times but couldn't say for sure. I wonder if it isn't a result of the page limit.

The ending works in the sense that it brings the story full circle, but I think it could've been handled better. I think it's hard to pinpoint exactly where it occurs in the chronology of the story, but it does feel like it occurs a little too soon after Amy and her mother have had "the talk." More than that, though, it's too neat, almost like Amy wills puberty into existence. Even for superheroes, I don't think it works that way. I'd have preferred a more awkward, unexpected revelation of her superpowers (for her more so than the audience). Might be worth looking into more after the challenge.

Alas... another one that's not funny. Also one that feels more like a drama. Yet again, cleverness ≠ comedy. Not bad in and of itself though.

That was funny and cute (I said it). I loved little Amy exploring her potential. Reminded me of a pubescent The Inredibles. For the cuteness of Amy you may edge the hampster hero but only by a a hair.

Liked this one a lot. A clever plot idea (all females are really superheroes, but not until they become WOMEN). The dialogue was good, the writing clean and crisp.  Good follow through on the premise and bringing it to a conclusion, even though we know what's coming.  Easily filmed piece, so great job here.

Verdict: Recommend
