Deux inconnus lointains

This short film sums up what the black community have been trying to say for years to the police in America. It is heartbreaking and I hate that this happens in America. So poignant and intelligent. BLACK LIVES WILL ALWAYS MATTER!!!

Clever, articulate, nuanced and at the same time both obvious and subtle.

Just watch it, enjoy it, don't judge it.

Let me tell you this, this short film is very difficult to watch at times, cause you can't help from feeling anxious, angry and sad all at the same time. Even if the story is full of simplicity in itself, there are some impressive symbols, such as the blood with the shape of Africa, or the reference to George Floyd. Even if you didn't like the way it ended, or how it became a Groundhog-Day-like film, we must not forget the names of the REAL people who died without deserving to. The ending is so real and so important that it deserves a standing ovation, maybe not because of the film, but because of those people who will never come back and deserve that justice be done.

I've watched this short and read the comments too.

I understand that there's two sides to every story, but if you're basing this off the belief that it's trying to recreate the awful situation that hit the news or it's one-sided storytelling, then I think you missed the point.

The subject matter that Two Distant Strangers is well-intentioned, but the execution feels like if the writers were going for a cartoon-ish portrayal of racism meets Groundhog Day with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. The writing feels utterly uninspired and cringy while the acting is very poor. If films like this can win an Oscar, then I don't know how to finish that sentence.
