Here's my assessment of the live-action shorts: The After - David Oyelowo plays a man who becomes an Uber driver after an unspeakable tragedy happens to him. The main thing this film has it going for it is David Oyelowo's truly great performance. I don't know if this one works as a short, it feels l...
