The Subject

This film is smart and hard to watch in all the right ways. Writer Chisa Hutchinson does what she does best: asks us to look at the ugly side of ourselves we would rather not face while also somehow finding unexpected moments of beauty. The actors execute the thought-provoking script to perfection. It's not an easy watch, but it's gripping and important and well worth your time.

What did I just watch? Seriously, what was it? It's like they took a bunch of woke tweets and made a movie out of it. Why on Earth did Jason agree to act in this? He wasn't right for this at all and a bad script didn't help. The "documentary" was so poorly executed. I know it was a low budget, but a low budget doesn't mean.

They included every stereotype in this film. This was like a youtube web series.

The scenes went on too long and were unengaging. It was just unbearable to watch. Please no more woke films. There have been done and done much better in the past. Time to make f=some fun movies again.

The rating for the film is criminal. I almost didn't watch it because of the low rating, and we would have missed an excellent production. This isn't 'woke', it's not addressing the 'liberal agenda', it's not anti anything. What it is is a very interesting film with a unique plot and fantastic performances. By far the best film I've likely ever seen with a below 5 rating on IMDB. Highly recommended.

This movie is objectively not good. It is basically just a film student's big dreams of having a grand movie about racial divide in America and the morality of documenting people in suffrage. But then you disfigure that idea and make bad casting calls along with awful writing.

The movie has plot lines which in essence make zero sense. The casting feels forced, along with the writing. The entire ambience of the film is trying to really jam in how the main character is benefiting off a black teen's death but never really taking into account that the entire situation is basically completely out of the main character's control. He is attempted to be played off as a standard white male with clear insecurity issues but instead played off as an insufferable rich film student who "went to school for this" as is humbly stated several times. I can't really tell what the goal of the movie is other than movie critic bait for having such a "diverse" cast and "important" writing.

To anyone who isn't a paid critic or your standard film student critic trying to feed his own ego off an objectively bad movie, the writing is bad. The main character makes questionable decisions particularly involving a three year relationship he is in. There is no real way to put it, the movie is just objectively bad. The cinematography is pretty solid, the way the documentary to actual cinematic scenes contrast is great but the writing kills the movie and any potential it had to actually be worth something.

TL:DR

This movie makes zero sense and should not be watched under any circumstances, it's standard wannabe "white man meets black culture" garbage.

I think this movie does a great job of capturing the seriousness of urban reality well. I like the rawness of it and that it potentially reach people who are capable of making a difference. Honestly though, I would have thrown more diversity in there. It's a little too stereotypical and doesn't focus enough on other aspects of how it is living that Kim of lifestyle. I think it would be better if they showed the perspective of more people in terms of watching things unfold through out the movie I fell like this has the potential to encourage people to make an effort in educating themselves about the importance of taking everyone's life seriously. Still good though.
