The Subject

This is a good film about a bunch of flawed characters where someone ends up dying. We are left to decide who's to blame for the incident and whether or not that person could have stopped the death from occurring.

The actors are all great and give fine performances and though it's a lower budget film, the productions values are good. Saw this on Tubi and wasn't going to watch it but decided I'd give it ten minutes to hook me. The movie ended up having me hooked right up until the end. Jason Biggs was great. I didn't find this movie to be woke at all. The film is about guilt and forgiveness, not wokeness.

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.

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.

I was so impressed with this film. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was extremely heart felt and engaging. I liked the mix of documentary style and cinematic. It was beautifully shot. The writing was really good as well as the score. I hope this does well and many people see it. I think it is extremely poignant for these times.
