**A reasonably decent debut short from Writer/Director Elizabeth Sapphire Lindsay.** The Way We Say 'Goodbye' may have some glaring technical issues as far as exposure and colour-grading are concerned, but it has it's fair share of charm too, as a nostalgic, coming-of-age type film set in a UK seaside town, trash and all. A welcome entry to the LGBTQ+ shorts scene, it's cast and crew show promise for endearing future endeavours.
