Bewertung von ShhImWatchingAMovie
This has real potential. Watching it, I kept wondering what it might've looked like with a bit of mentorship or just more time to fully develop the idea.
The story choice isn't the issue - it's obviously rooted in fact, and your interest in the subject comes through. But the way it's presented feels more like a reenactment than a deeper exploration. It ends up sitting in this in-between space - not quite historical, not fully personal.
That said - I want people making films like this. It's important that young creators are engaging with recent American history, even its darkest parts. But when it comes to something this well-known, the big question becomes: what are you bringing to it that we haven't seen before? If you're offering a new theory - go bold. If your angle comes from less-discussed or minority-sourced evidence, be specific. But don't remix half-defined ideas or rely on what the viewer already knows. You've got to guide us somewhere new.
One moment that really stood out - and not necessarily in a good way - was the opening scene. There's an actual photo of JonBenét Ramsey in the background, meant to pass as a relative in the shot. It's more immediately recognizable than the depiction of Ed Kemper, which pulled me out of the story right away. It felt unintentional, like the symbolism was working harder than the script. That kind of choice is a risk - it can come off powerful, or confusing. Here, it did the latter.
There's clearly a curiosity behind this project, and a willingness to engage with heavy subject matter. That's a strength. But next time, lean all the way in. Take creative risks you can defend. Be specific about your perspective. Show us why this story matters to you, and not just why it's shocking.
Looking forward to seeing what you make next - just don't hold back.

What did you do here? Why change genres four times in the duration of the film?
When it started as a comedy, fine - low budget, genuinely funny moments, but then it took a left turn it couldn't come back from. It's fine if you want to have the standard boy/girl reuniting, but why so serious? Then it became a family melodrama, then attempt at a thriller?
No climax, no character reference outside of the main four, so trying to tie in the story just doesn't work.
Also - the description has nearly nothing to do with the movie. This is very much not about Millennials and fake news from real. That's not even subplot. It's more like, a passing comment.
Before reading the description I thought to myself it's like one person started the movie, went into a coma, then his sad family tried to finish it for him - turns out, you did take two people's entirely different concepts and mash them together. It's rather unfortunate really, I was enjoying it for a bit there.
I don't know if this is your first go or not, but give it another. Just, maybe not as much of a team effort when it comes to the script, plot, genre, etc. If you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
