Nominated for Best short film at the Oscar this year, this wonderful little film uses the "old" Groundhog Day formula to great effect and does something which is not just completely new within a genre which never ceases to surprise me, but also manages to deliver one of the most important moral lessons and heartbreaking message.

It might not be subtle, but the circumstances are such that subtlety is meaningless at this point.

The names over the credits serve as a reminder of how much out of hands this has gone. Just as I am writing this the news of 20-year-old Daunte Wright was killed by a policeman who "accidentally discharged a "handgun".

Yes, it is the real groundhog day.

Beautiful, clever and very effective.

Didn't know what to expect from this but both the leads i thought were great, definitely worth the watch.

The message of the movie is positive and important but the way it is delivered is pretty silly at times with little to no nuance. Far from being Oscar worthy but not terrible either.a.

Production: Solid editing. Realistic enough costume design to make the characters believable. As far as the script, good premise, pretty good execution, but it could have been better. 6/10.

On screen: Solid acting from the cast; most of it was believable. Solid cinematography, sometimes certain scenes were a bit out of focus. Good use of mise-en-scene to further the film's message. 7/10.

Content/Impact: The message of hope is a good message that is needed to get through these trying times of police brutality. Also, this film shows the resiliency of black people. No matter what happens to us and what continues to happen to us, We Shall Overcome. Additionally, for me, It's getting more and more difficult to see all of these films about police brutality in a time where it seems like every day black and brown people are getting killed by police. Nevertheless, this imagery needs to be seen over and over again until change happens. 10/10.

Overall: Good short film about police brutality. 7.6/10.

This short film sums up what the black community have been trying to say for years to the police in America. It is heartbreaking and I hate that this happens in America. So poignant and intelligent. BLACK LIVES WILL ALWAYS MATTER!!!
