Avis à la une
Maybe I'm missing something, but the only point of this film seems to be to emphasise that the victims of mass shootings are normal people leading mundane lives with no clue that they will be involved in a mass shooting before it happens. That seems so obvious it is not a point that needs making, which makes this a film that didn't need making.
Most of the characters are nameless and no flesh is put on the character bones. No emotion is evoked. Even as an unsensational snapshot of normal daily life it seems abnormally devoid of life. Mundanity is emphasised to the degree that you feel these are not normal people - they don't seem representative - they barely talk, they are all flat in affect and extreme in their inactivity.
Once all the things this could have done have been missed or avoided it can only be a Who's-Gonna-Do-It. I don't get it.

I wish I could get back the 17 minutes that I wasted trying to watch this "film". I foolishly thought that this would have interviews with survivors of the Aurora massacre, maybe some insight, news coverage, maybe parts of the trial. This isn't a documentary, this isn't art, its an embarrassment. And what was the purpose of that god awful singing, if you would even call it that?
I'd rather be scooping poop out of a litter box for 17 minutes while my dog barks at the possum under the house.

I can describe this movie a pointless slideshow with messy sound exploiting mass shootings theme. The movie is trying to be realistic and naturally paced but its sound design is anything but realistic. It is somehow inverted, highlighting ambient background for now particular reason except being disturbing and serve to jump scare viewers.
The worst of all that this movie will only be shown during film festivals meaning that it will be watched by viewers who actually love and cinematography. I strongly recommend to skip this work of art and rent Gus Van Sant's Elephant instead.

I can't take anymore, I got though about half an hour and I don't care about the movie at all. There's almost no dialogue, the characters do not feel relatable, it hasn't focused in on any one person really, and the musics not great. It's supposed to be a movie with this deep message about society's impact on all these people but nothing has moved me or touched me or even interested me in anyway. Check these dudes out: they're skateboarding, check these peeps out: they're vaping, look at how social media rules this girls life. It's so bad. The only reason I gave it a 2 is because it has good cinematography, but that's it.
If this wasn't based loosely on the real tragedy in Aurora, CO then it would just be a complete waste of time and film. They went above and beyond trying to be "artsy" and "ambiguous" and in doing so, they decided to substitute their version of "mystery" with any meaningful dialogue and sense of intrigue. You do not get to relate to ANY one of the characters at all because there is 0% character development. The one merit it had was that, if you stand the banality of the film and the "characters," you really do not know definitively who the shooter is (although I had a pretty good idea).
