The Long Shadow

I found this movie to have a smooth introduction to the town and backstory leading into the pretense of the saga. It built up nicely with different events and sequences that captivated with anticipation to see what comes next (so many to detail). Although the cinematography was a bit dark it led nicely to the atmosphere of the film as well. Several scenes were also gripping with the emotional intensity as you can feel the anger, frustration, sorrow etc. Portrayed (also too many to elaborate). I have and will continue to recommend this film and must give major props to Aasha Davis for a role that must have been challenging for her but she did it incredibly!

The Long Shadow is a thrilling fictional look into a story about small town politics in South Louisiana. It reminds the viewer that everyone has a secret, and dances past the old adage "let sleeping dogs lie". If you're looking for a solid who-done-it consider checking out this feature by Daniel Lafrentz.

If you like True Detectives, Mind Hunter, or The Night Of then The Long Shadow could be a good fit.

The Long Shadow is an atmospheric whodunit set in Louisiana's Bayou country, starring the riveting Aasha Davis as a police officer investigating a murder in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and several have a motive. Some nice twists and red herrings. You can tell from the opening tracking shot that there are sure hands both behind and in front of the camera. A winner.

What an all-around great flick! Aasha Davis is gonna be the next big movie star!

This could have been a good movie. The story is intriguing and exciting. However, a bad script, bad casting (except Aasha Davis to some extent) and lousing direction and editing killed the plot!

A good opportunity, wasted!
