From the opening scene, I was locked in. This is a very creative way to tell this story, and it is clear the team carefully crafted the visual patchwork of multiple media sources with precision. Some may miss the real story here, which is really about how we receive information from surveillance footage and real time social media sources with very little additional evidence-almost always in a media-driven rush to form a conclusion rather than tell the truth. Great directing and solid/realistic performance from Patterson as Lucretia. I can't wait to see what I missed the first time.
I appreciate the movie's attempt to provide multiple sides to every story, good and bad choices on everyone's part that play into how things unfold. It's a human story about how complicated circumstances can get and in turn, how quickly things are out of any one person's control- yet everyone seems to want to grab at it.
The movie's method of delivery as a production, separate from politics, is unique and at the same time, lends impact-fully to the story. It felt real and live; you are receiving information in pieces much like actually watching twitter and the news, so it's near impossible not to be triggered emotionally, however you stand on any of the presented themes. It was a ride I'll probably watch again to see how it strikes me knowing how it ends.
